Description-en: computes checksums, CRCs and message digests
Jacksum is a free and platform independent software for computing and
verifying checksums, CRCs and message digests. Jacksum features both a
commandline interface and an open API.
.
Jacksum supports 58 popular algorithms (Adler32, BSD sum, Bzip2's CRC-32,
POSIX cksum, CRC-8, CRC-16, CRC-24, CRC-32 (FCS-32), CRC-64, ELF-32,
eMule/eDonkey, FCS-16, GOST R 34.11-94, HAS-160, HAVAL (3/4/5 passes,
128/160/192/224/256 bits), MD2, MD4, MD5, MPEG-2's CRC-32, RIPEMD-128,
