What's the best module for doing an MD5 hash?
More specifically, I want to hash the first few dozen K of a file, and then the entire file - to get two different hashes.
I would use the one from cryptohash if you're looking for performance, however I must stress that using MD5 for anything "new" is almost certainly a bad idea. If you aren't doing this for compatibility reasons, you should use something else, like BLAKE2: https://blake2.net/ You might also be interested in https://hackage.haskell.org/package/saltine
