Trying To Get MD5 out of a .bat file

[Bgines]

I am familiar with the term MD5 in windows and PHP
but I am trying to echo out a MD5 output on a .bat file
so if someone typed VrsSlilser it would outcome as a MD5 Hash
How do I convert it to a MD5 with batch?

[Squashman]

As far as I can recall Windows does not have a native MD5 hash utility. You will need to download and use a 3rd party utility.

This topic can be more meaningful is the OP would tell why this is needed. The MD5 hash is not part of the Windows set of tools, as was mentioned.
When data files  transported over a network, there is the danger of error due to noise or poor connections. Some transmissions can   verify by hardware features. In other cases the data itself may have a check built into the data.
Use of MB5 is rather extreme. It requites CPU power and protocol.

Perhaps the OP can tell us why he needs MB5 in a typical scenario.

I need a MD5 Hash or some other thing to stop prying eyes from looking at a file and knowing that the contents are

[Squashman]

That is called Encryption. You want PGP.  MD5 is used for file integrity.

OK.

Quick Batch File Compiler

Quick Batch File Compiler convert your batch files into actual program (.EXE format) in one click. This program may be run on Windows 2000/2003/XP/Vista/7 without any limitations. An .EXE file is much harder to casually reverse-engineer, so this could be a way to conceal a particular batch file's operations from an end user. Content of your batch file will be encrypted and protected from changes.
Quick Batch File Compiler also lets you set various resources in the .EXE file, such as its description, the company name, version information and even the application icon. In additional, you may include any files to compiled exe file and use it during execution.

No I want to hide other files contents

I NEED THE .BAT To ENCRYPT THE FILE ITS SELF

An EXE file can have lots of features. It can be made for C, C++ or a special tool. With a custom tool, the resulting EXE will  group of files inside a EXE . This might be said to be a kind of  kind of container.

A suitable tool might have these kind of features:

Can compile any batch file to EXE format compatible with Windows or Linux.
"Ghost" mode: application opens no windows and provides no feedback - best way to perform an install or modification silently.
Custom application resources. You can define Icon and Version Info for EXE-file.
Protects contents of a batch file from the non-authorized change
Hides contents of a batch file from viewing. Keep your secrets!
It is not necessary to be the programmer to create the program
It is very useful for installation and automation tasks
The one EXE file does not need run time  or DLL files
Can store additional files required during execution into one EXE file.
You can find these using a Google search.

Here is what a normal non-encrypted file would look like

Code: [Select]

--Begin Data Node--
Zach
Win7
sys32
Adefe758
PERSONAL DATA
PERSONAL DATA
--END Data Node--I am trying to encrypt that file and make it like or something like that

Code: [Select]

--Begin Data Node--
4874h8fsfe4d
3fv79w4
fdsa84h984
f8734hp0
f80aseduu94978
D454uj9rj9
--END Data Node--

Taking an MD5 hash of a file is not encryption - It's "hashing".  By design it is impossible to take that MD5 hash and turn it back into the file's contents!  What you are looking for is an encryption algorithm.

OMG YES! BUT CAN I GET THE CODE OR A SOLUTION!!!!

You need to do research and learn about different encryption systems - It's hardly a case of "Here's a bit code, use it and it will work" - Good encryption is a lot more complicated than that!

As mentioned above, a good starting point would be looking up and reading about "PGP"
