md5deep

[Mathieu Roy]

Hi,

Someone at United States Air Force Office of Special Investigations
made a md5sum-like program, with the following additional features: 

        Recursive operation - md5deep is able to recursive examine an
        entire directory tree. That is, compute the MD5 for every file
        in a directory andf for every file in every subdirectory.  

        Time estimation - md5deep can produce a time estimate when
        it's processing very large files.  

        Comparison mode - md5deep can accept a list of known hashes
        and compare them to a set of input files. The program will
        only display those input files that match the list of known
        hashes.  

The license is the following:

        md5deep was written by Special Agent Jesse Kornblum, United
        States Air Force Office of Special
        Investigations. address@hidden  

        md5deep is a work of the US Government. In accordance with 17
        USC 105, works of the US Government are not entitled to Copyright
        protection. This program is distributed in the hope that it will be
        useful, but WITHOUT ANY WARRANTY; without even the implied
        warranty of MERCHANTABILITY or FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR
        PURPOSE.  

So it means IMHO that you can copy some parts to include such feature
in md5sum.

Regards,
