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).
