RHash is a utility for computing hash sums.
It offers calculation and verification of magnet links and various message digests, including CRC32, CRC32C, MD4, MD5, SHA1, SHA256, SHA512, SHA3, AICH, ED2K, DC++ TTH, BitTorrent BTIH, Tiger, GOST R 34.11-94, GOST R 34.11-2012, RIPEMD-160, HAS-160, EDON-R, and Whirlpool.
Message digests are used to ensure and verify integrity of large volumes of data for a long-term storing or transferring.
Key Features
- Ability to process directories recursively.
- Output in a predefined (SFV, BSD-like) or a user-defined format.
- Calculation of Magnet links.
- Updating hash files (adding message digests of files missing in the hash file).
- Calculates several message digests in one pass.
- Cross-platform support – runs under Linux, macOS, and Windows.
