Verify files using MD5
How can you verify the integrity of some files as simple as possible? How can you check for manipulations or transmission failures? The question is answered quite simple: Checksums. One of the most common checksum techniques out there is MD5 which stands for Message Digest Version 5.
The fine thing about md5 is, that it’s just a checksum over a file that stays the same as long as the file does. Even some minor changes give you a complete different checksum.
