Why using a library when the libSystem provide hash functionality ?

/usr/include/CommonCrypto/CommonDigest.h





Regardless of any other problems, you've introduced a serious weakness - a hacker just needs to temporarily change /sbin/md5 to a shell script that cats the expected output. For that matter, they could easily edit the binary to change the string "/sbin/md5" to another path that does the deed (to avoid having to mess with sbin each time)

If you are trying to write secure code, don't execute external binaries that you have no control over and expect it to be secure.
