md5sum - Problem with Flashtool checksum



I've downloaded the package flashtool-0.9.23.1-linux.tar.7z from http://www.flashtool.net/downloads_linux.php. As you can see, the MD5 hash is 3C70AF72F9B9E45C195F9192409E0C0F. This is the second download and when I check the value with md5sum I always get a68d331f710b78f7eaf4350e70d3e693.



Can anyone explain me why, as I don't think the file I have downloaded is always damaged? Someone told me that link points to an infected file, but it's hard for me to believe it, since it is the official download page. The Flashtool program seems to execute correctly on Ubuntu, but I want to be sure before flashing. Thanks.



I downloaded the .zip file from git hub




https://github.com/Androxyde/Flashtool



My md5sum is



ad6674b9797e92264c431f61723e57fb Flashtool-master.zip


If you download from github and get the same md5um then I would say the zip from github is accurately downloaded.




If you then want to compair to what you have, extract both archives and compare them with the diff command



diff -r first_extraction second_sxtraction


changing first and second extraction to the location where you extracted the archives.
