Hi Ken,
Yes, hash can contain printable as well as
nonprintable chars.As I mentioned this code
was working with other strings and giving
correct hash length(16).To eliminate this
issue, i converted these chars to hex.
Now code look like this:
#include <stdio.h>
#include "openssl/md5.h"
void hexprint(unsigned char *data, int len)
{
int i;
for(i = 0;i < len;i++)
{ /* "%02x" for lowercase, "%02X" for
uppercase hexidecimal letters */
printf("%02x", data[i]);
}
}
int main()
{
unsigned char var[]="k.";
unsigned char *op;
op = MD5(var,strlen(var),NULL);
hexprint(op, strlen(op));
return 0;
}
Atleast this should work ..but its not
working either for string "k.". For any
other string working perfectly.
Wonder if its a bug!
Thanks,
Kaustubh
