Introduction to MD5 Encryption
The MD encryption algorithm was discussed in details in this section, I will discuss a tool which will help to find the MD5 checksum for any file.
This tools is named EESMD5. It is a very easy-to run tools. Once you double click on the EESMD5.EXE, YOU WILL SEE THIS.
SO, do you see how easy it is? Now
whenever you right-click any file, and then click on the option GET EESMD5 Checksum, the EESMD5 checksum of the file is determined straightaway. No two prove whether the file has been tampered with also get altered. Thus, the file can be easily authenticated in this manner. As per an illustration, I determined the MD5 checksum of a dummy executable file referred to as explorer. exe. It appears as:
Here is another encryption tools which can be effectively used to encrypt an executable file. One just needs to download the tools- Yodas crypter 1.3, and then double click on the executable file as a result of which a dialog box pops up, which prompts us to enter the name of the file to be encrypted. It appears as:
For a better understanding, the file explorer.exe is encrypted using the Yodas Crypter.
Since the file has been encrypted, it signifies that the message digest of the original file and the encrypted file is different. This can be further illustrated if the EESMD5 checksum of the two files is different.
In this case, if we compare the two checksum. it can be easily seen that the file explorer.exe has been tampered with.
Thus, we can see that yodas Crypter can be used for encryption but then again, EESMD5.exe can determine the MD5 checksum of the file enabling file authentication
