Image Hashing

1. md5deep

md5deep is a software package. The software is used in various fields including System administration and Computer security. The software package is basically used to calculate hash values. md5deep allows you to calculate MD5, SHA-1, SHA-256, Whirlpool and Tiger192 digests. md5deep was originally authored by Jesse Kornblum.

2. md5sum

md5sum is also a computer program. The program calculates 128 bit MD5 hash values and also verifies them to check the integrity of the data. MD5 hash values are no longer deemed secure and SHA has taken its place. But still, md5sum can be used for calculating and verifying MD5 hash values.

3. sha1sum

sha1sum is also a computer program that is used to calculate hash values. The program not only calculates SHA values but also verifies which in turn acts as an integrity check. SHA1SUM is there in literally all the UNIX-like operating systems. There are various variants of SHA, which includes SHA-512, SHA-224, SHA-256, SHA-384 and SHA-512. SHA is one step ahead when it comes to integrity check compared to MD5.

4. FTK Imager

FTK Imager is a part of Forensics Toolkit software or commonly known FTK. FTK Imager is a tool contained with FTK. The main purpose of FTK Imager is to create a bit stream image of any hard drive.FTK Imager allows you to calculate MD5 hash values of data for integrity checking.

5. Winhex

WinHex is a universal HEX Editor, which is commonly used in the realm for Computer Forensics, data recovery. WinHex is primitive application for low level data edition, but still is one of the most used applications. WinHex provides you with options to calculate hash of data. The available options with WinHex are Checksum (8, 16, 32, 64 bits), CRC (16, 32 bits), MD5, SHA1 and SHA.
