The BSD style commands (with names not ending in "sum") ignored the -c options and the passed digest value when invoked with -q. The man page stated that -q causes only the calculated digest to be printed, but did not consider the case of both the -q and -c being used in combination. Since there is no warning that -c will be ignored when the -q option is used, users night (and did) expect that the exit code would reflect the matching of the calculated digest and the argument passed with -c. This update implements and documents this expected behavior. PR: 265461 Reported by: Dmitrij <bugs.freebsd@1fff.net> MFC after: 2 weeks

utilities take as input a message of arbitrary length and produce as
|
|
output a
|
|
.Dq fingerprint
|
|
or
|
|

|
|
of the input.

|
|
.Nm sha512t256sum , rmd160sum , skein256sum , skein512sum ,
|
|
and
|
|
.Nm skein1024sum
|
|
utilities do the same, but default to the reversed format of
|
|
the
|
|
.Fl r
|
|
flag.
|
|
It is conjectured that it is computationally infeasible to
|
|
produce two messages having the same message digest, or to produce any
|
|
message having a given prespecified target message digest.
|
|
The SHA-224 , SHA-256 , SHA-384 , SHA-512, RIPEMD-160,
|
|
and SKEIN
|
|
algorithms are intended for digital signature applications, where a
|
|
large file must be
|
|
.Dq compressed
|
|
in a secure manner before being encrypted with a private
|
|
(secret)
|
|
key under a public-key cryptosystem such as RSA.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The MD5 and SHA-1 algorithms have been proven to be vulnerable to practical
|
|
collision attacks and should not be relied upon to produce unique outputs,
|
|
.Em nor should they be used as part of a cryptographic signature scheme.
|
|
As of 2017-03-02, there is no publicly known method to
|
|
.Em reverse
|
|
either algorithm, i.e., to find an input that produces a specific
|
|
output.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
SHA-512t256 is a version of SHA-512 truncated to only 256 bits.
|
|
On 64-bit hardware, this algorithm is approximately 50% faster than SHA-256 but
|
|
with the same level of security.
|
|
The hashes are not interchangeable.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
It is recommended that all new applications use SHA-512 or SKEIN-512
|
|
instead of one of the other hash functions.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The following options may be used in any combination and must
|
|
precede any files named on the command line.
|
|
The hexadecimal checksum of each file listed on the command line is printed
|
|
after the options are processed.
|

.It Fl b
|
|
Make the
|
|
.Nm -sum
|
|
programs separate hash and digest with a blank followed by an asterisk instead
|
|
of by 2 blank characters for full compatibility with the output generated by the
|
|
coreutils versions of these programs.
|
|
.It Fl c Ar string
|
|
If the program was called with a name that does not end in
|
|
.Nm sum ,
|
|
compare the digest of the file against this string.
|
|
If combined with the
|
|
.Fl q
|
|
option, the calculated digest is printed in addition to the exit status being set.
|
|
.Pq Note that this option is not yet useful if multiple files are specified.
|
|
.It Fl c Ar file
|
|
If the program was called with a name that does end in
|
|
.Nm sum ,
|
|
the file passed as argument must contain digest lines generated by the same
|
|
digest algorithm with or without the
|
|
.Fl r
|
|
option
|
|
.Pq i.e., in either classical BSD format or in GNU coreutils format .
|
|
A line with the file name followed by a colon
|
|
.Dq ":"
|
|
and either OK or FAILED is written for each well-formed line in the digest file.
|
|
If applicable, the number of failed comparisons and the number of lines that were
|
|
skipped since they were not well-formed are printed at the end.
|
|
The
|
|
.Fl q
|
|
option can be used to quiesce the output unless there are mismatched entries in
|
|
the digest.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
.It Fl s Ar string
|
|
Print a checksum of the given
|
|
.Ar string .
|
|
.It Fl p
|
|
Echo stdin to stdout and append the checksum to stdout.
|
|
.It Fl q

|

|
Overrides the

.Sh EXAMPLES
|
|
Calculate the MD5 checksum of the string
|
|
.Dq Hello .
|
|
.Bd -literal -offset indent
|
|
$ md5 -s Hello
|
|
MD5 ("Hello") = 8b1a9953c4611296a827abf8c47804d7
|
|
.Ed
|
|
.Pp
|
|
Same as above, but note the absence of the newline character in the input
|
|
string:
|
|
.Bd -literal -offset indent
|
|
$ echo -n Hello | md5
|
|
8b1a9953c4611296a827abf8c47804d7
|
|
.Ed
|
|
.Pp
|
|
Calculate the checksum of multiple files reversing the output:
|
|
.Bd -literal -offset indent
|
|
$ md5 -r /boot/loader.conf /etc/rc.conf
|
|
ada5f60f23af88ff95b8091d6d67bef6 /boot/loader.conf

|
|
.Pd
|
|
The
|
|
.Nm -sum
|
|
variants put 2 blank characters between hash and file name for full compatibility
|
|
with the coreutils versions of these commands.
|
|
.Ed
|
|
.Pp
|
|
Write the digest for
|
|
.Pa /boot/loader.conf
|
|
in a file named
|
|
.Pa digest .
|
|
Then calculate the checksum again and validate it against the checksum string
|
|
extracted from the
|
|
.Pa digest
|
|
file:
|
|
.Bd -literal -offset indent
|
|
$ md5 /boot/loader.conf > digest && md5 -c $(cut -f2 -d= digest) /boot/loader.conf
|
|
MD5 (/boot/loader.conf) = ada5f60f23af88ff95b8091d6d67bef6
|
|
.Ed
|
|
.Pp
|
|
Same as above but comparing the digest against an invalid string
|
|
.Pq Dq randomstring ,
|
|
which results in a failure.
|
|
.Bd -literal -offset indent
|
|
$ md5 -c randomstring /boot/loader.conf
|
|
MD5 (/boot/loader.conf) = ada5f60f23af88ff95b8091d6d67bef6 [ Failed ]
|
|
.Ed
|
|
.Pp
|
|
If invoked with a name ending in
|
|
.Nm -sum
|
|
the
|
|
.Fl c
|
|
option does not compare against a hash string passed as parameter.
|
|
Instead, it expects a digest file, as created under the name
|
|
.Pa digest
|
|
for
|
|
.Pa /boot/loader.conf
|
|
in the example above.
|
|
.Bd -literal -offset indent
|
|
$ md5 -c digest /boot/loader.conf
|
|
/boot/loader.conf: OK
|
|
.Ed
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The digest file may contain any number of lines in the format generated with or without the
|
|
.Fl r
|
|
option
|
|
.Pq i.e., in either classical BSD format or in GNU coreutils format .
|
|
If a hash value does not match the file, FAILED is printed instead of OK.
