Need Help??

in reply to md5_hex diff input produces same output?

Although your example is flawed, there has been demonstrated working code that produces the same MD5 output:

C:\TEMP> md5sum hello.exe
cdc47d670159eef60916ca03a9d4a007
C:\TEMP> .\hello.exe
Hello, world!

(press enter to quit)
C:\TEMP> 

C:\TEMP> md5sum erase.exe
cdc47d670159eef60916ca03a9d4a007
C:\TEMP> .\erase.exe
This program is evil!!!
Erasing hard drive...1Gb...2Gb... just kidding!
Nothing was erased.

(press enter to quit)
C:\TEMP>
