Please use the script to get the MD5 and SHA1 Hash value to identify content of the specific file
Useful at:
to verify the file whether completely transferred or not
to verify the file after downloading from the internet if they have given MD5 or SHA1
to compare with other files
## to get MD5 and SHA1 checksum value
