另一个早在2003年就默认安装在Windows中的内置命令是Certutil，当然也可以从PowerShell调用它。

CertUtil -hashfile file.foo MD5

(注意:MD5应该全部大写以获得最大的健壮性)

下面是我用来获取给定字符串的MD5的代码片段:

$text = "text goes here..."
$md5  = [Security.Cryptography.MD5CryptoServiceProvider]::new()
$utf8 = [Text.UTF8Encoding]::UTF8
$bytes= $md5.ComputeHash($utf8.GetBytes($text))
$hash = [string]::Concat($bytes.foreach{$_.ToString("x2")}) 

现在有一个Get-FileHash函数，非常方便。

PS C:\> Get-FileHash C:\Users\Andris\Downloads\Contoso8_1_ENT.iso -Algorithm SHA384 | Format-List

Algorithm : SHA384
Hash      : 20AB1C2EE19FC96A7C66E33917D191A24E3CE9DAC99DB7C786ACCE31E559144FEAFC695C58E508E2EBBC9D3C96F21FA3
Path      : C:\Users\Andris\Downloads\Contoso8_1_ENT.iso

只需将SHA384更改为MD5即可。

示例来自PowerShell 5.1的官方文档。文档中有更多示例。

团队! 看看我的哈希计算函数。

Function Get-StringHash {
<#
    .DESCRIPTION
        Get string persistant hash.        
#>
    [OutputType([string])]
    [CmdletBinding()]
    Param(
        [Parameter( Mandatory = $True, Position = 0, HelpMessage = "String to calculate hash." )]
        [string] $String,
        [Parameter( Mandatory = $false, Position = 0, HelpMessage = "String encoding." )]
        [ValidateSet( 'UTF8' )]
        [string] $StringEncoding = 'UTF8',
        [Parameter( Mandatory = $false, Position = 2, HelpMessage = "Hash algoritm." )]
        [ValidateSet( 'md5', 'sha256', 'sha512' )]
        [string] $Algoritm = 'sha256'
    )
    try {
        #region functions
        #endregion

        $Result = $null

        switch ( $Algoritm ) {
            'md5' {  
                $HashProvider = New-Object -TypeName System.Security.Cryptography.MD5CryptoServiceProvider
            }
            'sha256' {  
                $HashProvider = New-Object -TypeName System.Security.Cryptography.SHA256CryptoServiceProvider
            }
            'sha512' {  
                $HashProvider = New-Object -TypeName System.Security.Cryptography.SHA512CryptoServiceProvider
            }
            Default {}
        }

        switch ( $StringEncoding ) {
            'UTF8' {  
                $Encoding = New-Object -TypeName System.Text.UTF8Encoding
            }
            Default {}
        }
        
        
        $Result = [System.BitConverter]::ToString( $HashProvider.ComputeHash( $Encoding.GetBytes( $String ) )).replace('-','')

    }
    catch {
        Get-ErrorReporting -Trap $_
    }

    return $Result
}

$String   = 'Some text'
$Algoritm = 'MD5'

$Hash = Get-StringHash -String $String -Algoritm $Algoritm

write-host "$String has $Algoritm hash $hash"

如果你正在使用PowerShell社区扩展，有一个Get-Hash命令可以很容易地做到这一点:

C:\PS> "hello world" | Get-Hash -Algorithm MD5


Algorithm: MD5


Path       :
HashString : E42B054623B3799CB71F0883900F2764

这里有两行，只需在第2行中更改“hello”:

PS C:\> [Reflection.Assembly]::LoadWithPartialName("System.Web")
PS C:\> [System.Web.Security.FormsAuthentication]::HashPasswordForStoringInConfigFile("hello", "MD5")
