Hi,
I have very limited C knowledge. I want to convert to output from a
MD5 hash algorithm to printable ascii similar to the output of the
md5sum in GNU coreutils. Any help on how to do the conversion is
appreciated.
[aff@afflinux md5_xyssl]$ gcc -o test test.c md5.c
[aff@afflinux md5_xyssl]$ ./test

Use printf with the %x or %X format specifier. Access the hash as an
array of unsigned char. Also the md5sum library may itself provide
formatting routines.

I use 16 because MD6 hashes are 128 bits or 16 bytes long. This is
assuming an Intel platform.

The BIG thing you need to realize here is that strings in C are null
terminated (ASCII 0). The output of MD5 is BINARY, so for an unsigned
char, all values 0-255 are valid data...this includes the 0 or null char
for string termination. There's a set of functions that is used to
handle binary strings. To copy binary strings, take a look at memcpy or
memmove.
Something like:
unsigned char dst[16];
memcpy(dst, pout, 16);
Since the data is binary, there is no terminating null. You just have
to be careful when working with it and use the size correctly. The best
way to do this would be like this:
#include <stdio.h>
#include <string.h>
#include "md5.h"
#define MD5HASHSIZE 16
int main (void) {
unsigned char in[64] = "This is my dearest secret: 12345";
unsigned char *pout;
unsigned char dest[MD5HASHSIZE];
int i;
// compute MD5 hash
md5_csum(in, 64, pout);
printf("\"%s\"\ n", pout);
for (i = 0; i < MD5HASHSIZE; i++) printf("%0x", pout[i]);
printf("\n");
memmove(dest, pout, MD5HASHSIZE);
return(0);
}
Note the #define directive. The pre-processor will replace all
instances of MD5HASHSIZE with 16. So if you change the value of
MD5HASHSIZE, it will change everywhere so you don't have to go through
your code and change each instance manually. Think of it as a constant.
It's not a const, but it's like a const.
I'm sure that someone will correct me on this....

Disreguard my other post. I misunderstood what you were refering too.
int i;
char c[10];
char md5ascii[128];
memset(md5ascii , 0, sizeof(md5ascii );
for (i = 0; i < 16; i++)
{
snprintf(c, sizeof(c), "%0x", pout[i];
strncat(md5asci i, c, sizeof(md5ascii ) - 1;
}

Hacked out on the spot eh? You've forgotten to close the argument list
for memset, snprintf and strncat. Required headers, definition of pout
and main are missing. Here's a compilable example based on yours:
#include <stdio.h>
#include <string.h>
int i;
char c[10];
char md5ascii[128];
unsigned char pout[16];
int main(void) {
for(i = 0; i < sizeof(pout); i++) pout[i] = i + 1;
memset(md5ascii , 0, sizeof(md5ascii ));
for (i = 0; i < 16; i++) {
snprintf(c, sizeof(c), "%0x", pout[i]);
strncat(md5asci i, c, sizeof(md5ascii ) - 1);
}
for(i = 0; i < sizeof(md5ascii ); i++) putchar(md5asci i[i]);
putchar('\n');
return 0;

Pretty much. :) That's what happens when you are up since 1 in the AM.

and main are missing. Here's a compilable example based on yours:

for (i = 0; i < 16; i++) {
snprintf(c, sizeof(c), "%0x", pout[i]);
strncat(md5asci i, c, sizeof(md5ascii ) - 1);
}
for(i = 0; i < sizeof(md5ascii ); i++) putchar(md5asci i[i]);
putchar('\n');
return 0;
}
Opps.
Looks like my secret is out. I guess you can tell that I rely on
compiler warnings and errors *way* too much.

Let's try:
for (i=0; i < 16; i++) printf ("%02x", pout[i]);
printf ("\n");
The difference kind of matters.
However, I would, of course, just do this:
char out[33], *p;
for (p=out,i=0; i < 16; i++) {
*p++ = "0123456789ABCD EF"[(pout[i] >4) & 0xf];
*p++ = "0123456789ABCD EF"[pout[i] & 0xf];
}
*p = '\0';
puts (out);
to avoid linking in all of printf() unnecessarily.
