hashlib

I'm on Solaris 10 (x86). Until now, I was using python2.6. Today, I installed python2.7 and I have a weird error occuring when importing hashlib on 2.7, but not on 2.6: Python 2.6: root@myserver [PROD] # python2.6 -c "import hashlib" root@myserver [PROD] # Python 2.7: root@myserver [PROD] # python2.7 -c "import hashlib" ERROR:root:code for hash md5 was not found. Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/local/lib/python2.7/hashlib.py", line 139, in <module> globals()[__func_name] = __get_hash(__func_name) File "/usr/local/lib/python2.7/hashlib.py", line 91, in __get_builtin_constructor

I have this error: Traceback (most recent call last): File "python_md5_cracker.py", line 27, in <module> m.update(line) TypeError: Unicode-objects must be encoded before hashing when I try to execute this code in Python 3.2.2 : import hashlib, sys m = hashlib.md5() hash = "" hash_file = input("What is the file name in which the hash resides? ") wordlist = input("What is your wordlist? (Enter the file name) ") try: hashdocument = open(hash_file, "r") except IOError: print("Invalid file.") raw_input() sys.exit() else: hash = hashdocument.readline() hash = hash.replace("\n", "") try: wordlistfile

Is there any simple way of generating (and checking) MD5 checksums of a list of files in Python? (I have a small program I'm working on, and I'd like to confirm the checksums of the files). quantumSoup You can use hashlib.md5() Note that sometimes you won't be able to fit the whole file in memory. In that case, you'll have to read chunks of 4096 bytes sequentially and feed them to the Md5 function: def md5(fname): hash_md5 = hashlib.md5() with open(fname, "rb") as f: for chunk in iter(lambda: f.read(4096), b""): hash_md5.update(chunk) return hash_md5.hexdigest() Note: hash_md5.hexdigest() will
