robohash 1.0

One of the leading robot-based hashing tools on the web

RoboHash, the source code for the site RoboHash.org OK, I’ll admit I’m a crappy programmer. Compounding this, I wrote this code initially to be internal-only. It’s ugly, and could be a LOT nicer. Sorry about that.

What it basically does is copy/paste the various robot pictures, using bits from the SHA hash. It’s not perfect, and not entirely secure, but it gives a good gut-check to “Hey, this sha is wrong”
