         <p>Linux includes “md5sum” utility for checking MD5 values of downloaded applications.  I find it a nuisance having to drop into a command shell and execute…</p>

<div class="language-plaintext highlighter-rouge"><div class="highlight"><pre class="highlight"><code>$ md5sum download.iso
</code></pre></div></div>

<p>And then manually compare with the author’s.  I have therefore written a simple KDE ServiceMenu to add MD5 checking.</p>

<!--more-->

<p>Simply <a href="https://github.com/chrisjrob/chrisjrob.github.io/blob/master/downloads/md5chk.tar.gz">download</a> and extract to <code class="language-plaintext highlighter-rouge">/home/*USERNAME*/.kde/share/apps/konqueror/servicemenus</code>.</p>

<div class="language-plaintext highlighter-rouge"><div class="highlight"><pre class="highlight"><code>8a2965e228219d61c296029f0abe2eed  md5chk.tar.gz
</code></pre></div></div>
