Creating md5 and sha1 hashes using dcfldd

Have you ever been in a situation where you needed to calculate multiple hashes (md5 and sha1, for example) of a large drive image, but you didn't want to wait the long time it would take to do the following?

md5 image.dd
sha1 image.dd

dcfldd can calculate multiple hashes at the same time. All you have to do is set dcfldd's output to /dev/null like this:

dcfldd if=image.dd of=/dev/null hash=md5,sha1
512 blocks (16Mb) written.Total (md5): 95581c2eb1d0e18d4c9d0a08f06e1b28
