Question

Use your web browser to go to md5deep.sourceforge.net Locate the download md5deep and hashdeep section, Under Stable Version, click the link https://github.com/jessekhashdeeplreleases Under Release 4.4, download md5deep-4.4.zip using windows Explorer, navigate to the location of the downloaded file. Right the file and then click Extract All to extract the files. Create a Microsoft Word document with the contents "Now is the time for all good men to come to the aid of their country." save the document as Country1.docx in the directory that contains the hash digest generator files and then close the document Start a command prompt by clicking Start, entering cmd, and pressing Enter Navigate to the location of the downloaded files enter MD5DEEP Country1.docx to start the application that creates an MD5 digest of Country1.docx Country and then press Enter. What is the length of this digest? Now enter MD5DEEP MD5DEEP.TXT to start the application that creates an MD5 digest of the accompanying documentation file MD5DEEP.TXT and then press Enter. What is the length of this digest? Compare it to the digest of Count 1.docx. What does this tell you about the strength of the MD5 digest? Launch Microsoft Word and then open Country1.docx Remove the period at the end of the sentence so it says "Now is the time f all good men to come to the aid of their country" and the save the document as Country2.doc in the directory that contains the hash digest generator files. Close the document At the command prompt, enter MD5DEEP Country2.docx to start the application that creates an MD5 hash of Country2.docx and press enter. What difference does removing the period make to the digest? Return to the command prompt and perform the same comparisons of Country1.docx and Country2.docx using sha1deep.exe and sha256deep.exe, and whirlpooldeep.exe (whirlpool). What observations can you make regarding the length of the digests between Country1.docx and Country2.docx for each hash algorithm? What do you observe regarding the differences between hash algorithm as you compare MD5 with SHA-1 SHA-256 with Whirlpool, etc? enter Exit at the command prompt to close

Explanation / Answer

Answer:

1. The length of the digest Country1.docx is 242160773668661428490715066916242275224.

2. The length of the digest MD5DEEP.TXT is 232701063947089370352538291489594461807.

3. Country1.docx digest is greater than MD5DEEP.TXT digest.

4. Through this comparision we can analyse that MD5 digest is very strong and bold as compard to others.

Country 1

1. Using sha1deep64 - 1303718736117941447146899535163506512021662177994

2. Using sha256deep64 - 73701841507572344180471309078748049596918837219440576653007970286587336479811

3. Whrilpooldeep - 4.254111971080824e+154

Country 2

1. Using sha1deep - 1404115086004269675701842794878686817228726835060

2. Using sha256deep64 - 48940852256110977605479639733830017688799579882857183484778194419255880374866

3. Whrilpooldeep - 6.894787843032794e+154

The MD5 algorithm can take less time and length to compare execute Country1.docx and Country2.docx

While we are using SHA1/SHA2/WHRILPOOL Deep algorithms it take some time and the length of the word document increased rapidly. To analyse this documents is takes some time and it may be some what secured than MD5 algorithm.

This entire statement conclude that MD5DEEP algorithm can work with less time and length rather than SHA1/SHA256/WHRILPOOL algorithms.
