Why remember? Generate! Up to 48 chars, works on any unix-like system (NB: BSD use md5 instead of md5sum) Show Sample Output
Command makes use of the Malware Hash Registry (http://www.team-cymru.org/Services/MHR/). It parses the current directory and subdirectories and calculates the md5 hash of the files, then prints the name and sends the hash to the MHR for a lookup in their database. The 3rd value in the result is the detection percentage across a mix of AV packages. Show Sample Output

Decrypt MD5 , replace 1cb251ec0d568de6a929b520c4aed8d1 with the MD5 string you want to decrypt Show Sample Output
ZenCart uses a MD5 with a salt to secure its passwords. If you need to forcibly change someone's password to a known value within the database, this one-liner can generate the password. Change the value of 'p' to the password you want. Show Sample Output
Encrypt any text to MD5 , replace text with the string you want to convert to MD5 Show Sample Output
Replace "user/sbin/sshd" with the file you would like to check. If you are doing this due to intrusion, you obviously would want to check size, last modification date and md5 of the md5sum application itself. Also, note that "/var/lib/dpkg/info/*.md5sums" files might have been tampered with themselves. Neither to say, this is a useful command. Show Sample Output
echo defaults to include a newline character at the end of the string, which messes with the hash. If you suppress it with -n then it has the same effect as PHP's ?echo md5("string"), "\t-";? Even more, by using cut you get the exact same output, so it works as a drop-in replacement for the original command for this thread. Show Sample Output
This command does something similar using dig which is usually more available. Show Sample Output
Nothing special about hashing here, only the use of cut, I think, could result at fewer keystrokes. Show Sample Output
commandlinefu.com is the place to record those command-line gems that you return to again and again. That way others can gain from your CLI wisdom and you from theirs too. All commands can be commented on, discussed and voted up or down.
Every new command is wrapped in a tweet and posted to Twitter. Following the stream is a great way of staying abreast of the latest commands. For the more discerning, there are Twitter accounts for commands that get a minimum of 3 and 10 votes - that way only the great commands get tweeted.
