Hi All.
I have designed my own hash calculator prototype. I need to come up with file type of different sizes eg. 100KB, 10MB, 100MB, 1GB, etc in order to test the prototype. So, I created the dummy files for these sizes using Dummy File Creator. I tested hashing the real file and hashing the dummy file of the same file size e.g. 1GB. But the results are strikingly different somewhat i.e. the time taken to hash a real 1GB file is so distinct/dissimilar from the time taken to hash a 1GB dummy file. So, just wanna know your thoughts and advice, is it advisable or practical or safe to hash a dummy file? Or, am I facing a bug in my prototype?
Thanks. Appreciate your time.
