Pixhash

Pixhash is a simple Cyber Threat Intelligence (CTI) tool that extracts all images from a webpage (including those referenced in CSS), calculate their hashes, and optionally download them.

pixhash [OPTIONS] URL

Options

Flag	Description	Default
-t, --timeout <sec>	Network timeout in seconds	10
--algo {sha256,sha1,md5}	Hash algorithm to use	sha256
-U, --user-agent <string>	Custom User-Agent header for all HTTP requests	Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; Win64; x64; rv:115.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/115.0
--delay <sec>	Seconds to wait between each HTTP request	0
--max-images <n>	Maximum number of images to process per run	500
--max-size <MB>	Maximum response size per request in MB	50
--version	Show the version number and exit
--download	Download each image to disk and hash it (requires -o/--output-dir)	disabled
-o, --output-dir <path>	Directory to save images (when using --download) and/or write the timestamped log file (pixhash_YYYYMMDD_HHMMSS.txt)	none

Examples

1) Basic usage with default settings. Just hash & print the results (no downloads, no log):

pixhash https://example.com

2) Hash & write a log file (no images downloaded):

pixhash https://example.com -o ./hash-logs

3) Download each image, hash it, AND write log:

pixhash https://example.com --download -o ./downloaded-images

4) Custom User-Agent:

pixhash https://example.com -U "CustomUA/1.2" --download -o ./my-images

5) Customizing everything (Spaghetti):

pixhash https://example.com -U "CustomUA/1.2" -t 4 --algo md5 --delay 3 --download -o ./Org-1

[!IMPORTANT] If your URL’s query string uses the & separator, wrap it in single quotes so your shell doesn’t treat & as the background operator.

pixhash 'https://example.com/page?foo=1&bar=2' --delay 5

Sample Log File

When you run with -o ./logs, you will get a file named like pixhash_20250519_153012.txt containing:
