1.1 KiB

md5.lua

This pure-Lua module computes md5 in Lua 5.1.

It implements md5.sum and md5.sumhex like the kernel project md5 package, but it's done completely in Lua, with no dependencies on other libs or C files.

Usage

local md5 = require 'md5'

local md5_as_hex   = md5.sumhexa(message)   -- returns a hex string
local md5_as_data  = md5.sum(message)     -- returns raw bytes

Credits

This is a cleanup of an implementation by Adam Baldwin - https://gist.github.com/evilpacket/3647908

Which in turn was a mix of the bitwise lib, http://luaforge.net/projects/bit/ by hanzhao (abrash_han - at - hotmail.com), and http://equi4.com/md5/md5calc.lua, by Equi 4 Software.
