To find the MD5 of a file in mac or Linux you just type
md5 <filename>
in the terminal
Not sure if it's different on Mac or other distros, but for me on Linux Mint it's actually md5sum <filename>
. Surprisingly, that wasn't a listed suggestion when trying md5 --help
- just offers 'mdp, mda, cd5, mdu' to install with apt.
My bad - thanks for the correction!

Iirc it's only used for showing the logo on boot
Great information to share. Great link too that works for all types of hashes, not just MD5.
