You generate MD5 128-bit hash on all files and folders on your computer to keep a baseline check for security reasons?
What is the length of the MD5 hash?
A.
32 bit
B.
64 byte
C.
32 char
D.

What is the length of the MD5 hash?
Hello,
I do not understand the answer. The output length for MD5 is 128 bits.
Help is really welcome!
Thanks

128 bits = 16 chars
Notice that there are 4 files in the example so the answer is 48 char
Math is off but relook at the number of files
I did the Math and came up with 64 bytes/chars. So, I need someone to explain the answer also.
So, is anyone out there?
MD5 = 128 bits (4 – 32 bit words)
16 bytes (8 bits in a byte so 128/8)
32 characters in length.
A is wrong because MD5 is FOUR 32 bit words not one.
B is wrong because 128 bits is 16 bytes not 64.
C is wrong because MD5 is 32 characters in length not 48.
D is wrong because Kilobites is way off.
The question asks for the length of MD5. And the length of MD5 is always a 32 character hexidecimal number.
So all the answers are technically wrong. But the most correct will be the answer talking about characters.
Thanks for you explanation. Good point.
completely agree.
a- 32 ch
d- 128 bit
sooooooooooooory
32 ch
