SumatraDigest

Description

An easy to use hashing tool with security in mind that supports extra security measures (special checksums). It uses pure-rust, aims to be easy to use, and supports various features like checksums (-c) and writing to file (-w). It also implemnts zeroize for privacy. There are variable digest lengths for certain hash functions that use the argument d=<bits> or d=<bytes>.

• SHA1
• SHA2 (224,256,384,512)
• SHA3 (224,256,384,512)
• BLAKE2B (variable digest)
• BLAKE3
• SHAKE256 (512-bits).

Get Hash With Blake2B Checksum (Extra Security and for quick error checking)

This function returns a blake2b checksum of 8-bytes.

sumatradigest <hasher> -c [Path]

Examples

Get Hash and Write to file

This function writes it to a i

sumatradigest <hasher> -w [Path]

Get Hash, Write To File, and Checksum

This function writes to a file and prints the checksum.

sumatradigest <hasher> -c -w [Path]

Get Variable Digest
