Hi, this is really interesting, I had never thought of such use for netcat. Anyway, I just want to point out that MD5 hashes are no longer safe. You can make that two totally different files have the same MD5 hash in a pretty trivial way. You can see more here if you wish.

thank you for the advise!
It is wise nowadays use 2 or more hash algorithms, although SHA256 is strong today no one knows in a few years, as shattered.io/ demonstrate on SHA1.
Using 2 or more it get way more troublesome to generate the same hash even on 2 not safe anymore algorithms.
