Hash Calculator is a console tool that can calculate about 50 cryptographic hashes of strings and files.
This is free and open source software.
Key Features
- String hash calculation.
- File hash calculation, including only part file hash (defined by file part size and offset from the beginning).
- Restoring original string by it’s hash specified using brute force method (dictionary search).
- Directory’s files hash calculation with support of filtering files by size, name, path.
- File validation using its hash.
- File searching using file hashes of the whole file or only the part of the file.
- Brute force restoring time assumption.
- Multithreading brute force restoring.
- Different case hash output (by default upper case).
- Output in SFV format (simple file verification).
- Variables support.
