I am trying to get results from Mathematica's Hash function (for hash type "MD5") that are consistent with the results obtained using "openssl md5" in Linux. The particular example I would like to reproduce is on http://wiki.secondlife.com/wiki/LlMD5String, where "Hello, Avatar!:0" hashes to (for hash type "MD5") 112abd47ceaae1c05a826828650434a6 In Mathematica 6 (Windows Vista, Intel hardware), doing the obvious Hash["Hello, Avatar!:0", "MD5"] // BaseForm[#, 16] & I get the following result a8c2ab1662a37cb9f8ea5af154a48c52 This is not the same as expected. Does anyone know how to get consistent results? -- Steve Luttrell West Malvern, UK
