hashit 3.3.1

Hashing Application with muliple modes, settings and more!

Project is hosted on pypi

See docs for more info

Background

Hashit is an hashing program which can be uses to hash and verify muliple files on a system. I got the idea from an ubuntu iso image which have this hash table, so i got the idea to make such a program using python.

I also found that the linux ‘standard’ hashing commands was named like this:

• md5sum

• sha1sum

• sha256sum

• cksum

• sum

hashname + sum, which i thougth was a pretty lame naming convention.

Notice:

some hashes as blake2b and blake2s is not supported in python2.

I would recommend python3 for this program as its version of hashlib supports sha3 (Keccak)

And for compatibly reasons does detect not work for sha3 yet. so basicly to many confusions between sha2 and sha3

BSD can be useful with the -A –append because then multiple diffrent hashtypes can be stored in the same file, good for multi-sized file validation. (remember -m)

Usage

Command line wise

(python3 -m) hashit [options] $path

From python you can do it like this

from hashit import hashlib, blockIter, hashIter, hashFile, new

file = open("somefile", "rb")

""" memory efficent generator """
hash1 = hashIter(blockIter(file, blocksize=65536), hasher=new("md5"), ashexstr=True)

""" easy access """
hash2 = hashFile("somefile", new("md5"), False)  # enable memory effienct generator (False)

assert hash1 == hash2
print(hash1, hash2)
