MD5 using openssl

[shrims4u]

can anyone please tell me how to create the message digest using openssl library in linux.... ????

Looking at the documentation for MD5 in openssl[^], it looks like it's as simple as calling the MD5 function:

const char* msg = "This is my message";
unsigned char digest[MD5_DIGEST_LENGTH];

MD5(msg, strlen(msg) * sizeof(char), digest);

Java, Basic, who cares - it's all a bunch of tree-hugging hippy cr*p

Thanx man... I did it but that method is a bit long using the evp.h
