Hi -
I'm trying to calculate unique hash values for binary files,
independent of their location and filename, and I was wondering
whether I'm going in the right direction.
Basically, the hash values are calculated thusly:
f = open('binaryfile.bin')
Thanks all!

I did some testing, and calculating the hash value of a 1Gb file does
take some time using this method.
Would it be wise to calculate the hash value based on say for instance
the first Mb? Is there a much larger chance of collusion this way (I
suppose not). If it's helpful, the files would

(video) files.
