So the signing[1] DXIL.dll does is just a modified MD5?

This is the part of HN I really like. People who can look at random C code working with memory and be like "yep this looks like modified X". Pretty amazing (to someone like me who mostly works in high level languages).

With the phrasing of the article, I immediately thought it must have been something simple/dumb. I quickly thought MD5 so I looked at the magic numbers in the C code and looked them up on wikipedia. Then I noticed the four F G H I functions. Still I’m not sure it is (maybe it’s something common in hashes?) and I still don’t know what the change is
