Bug#309497: ITP: md5deep -- a cross-platform set of programs to compute MD5, SHA-1, SHA-256, or Whirlpool message digests on an arbitrary number of files



Package: wnpp
Severity: wishlist
Owner: Niall Sheridan <niall@blacknight.ie>


* Package name    : md5deep
  Version         : 1.6
  Upstream Author : Jesse Kornblum <md5deep@jessekornblum.com>
* URL             : http://md5deep.sourceforge.net

  Description     : a cross-platform set of programs to compute MD5, SHA-1, SHA-256, or Whirlpool message digests on an arbitrary number of files

	md5deep is similar to the md5sum program found in the GNU Coreutils 
	package, but has the following additional features:

	* Recursive operation - md5deep is able to recursive examine an entire 
	  directory tree. That is, compute the MD5 for every file in a 
	  directory and for every file in every subdirectory.
	* Time estimation - md5deep can produce a time estimate when it's
	  processing very large files.
	* Comparison mode - md5deep can accept a list of known hashes and 
	  compare them to a set of input files. The program can display either
	  those input files that match the list of known hashes or those that 
	  do not match. Hashes sets can be drawn from the National Software
	  Reference Library, iLook Investigator, Hashkeeper, or md5sum.
	* File type mode - md5deep can process only files of a certain type,
	  such as regular files, block devices, etc.
