Hi,

how can i check if i have the latest md5 signature installed on smartConsole? and if it isn't the latest how can i update it?

The MD5 message-digest algorithm is a cryptographically broken but still widely used hash function producing a 128-bit hash value. Although MD5 was initially designed to be used as a cryptographic hash function, it has been found to suffer from extensive vulnerabilities. It can still be used as a checksum to verify data integrity, but only against unintentional corruption.

So if you want to check a file for corruption during download, you will produce an MD5 hash on the file and compare it to the MD5 hash given for the file by CP with the download.
