A versatile command-line Windows utility that can generate the hash of a file or a string of text according to a number of hashing algorithms (both cryptographic and non-cryptographic). Also provides quick mechanisms for hashing entire directory trees (including recursively), quickly comparing the hashes of two files or two folders, and validating checksums in batch mode. Can also encode and decode files and text to/from MIME base64.
Useful for file integrity validation in scripts
Secure Cryptographic Algorithms:
SHA2 [256,384,512], SHA3 [256,384,512], BLAKE2S, BLAKE2B, BLAKE3
Obsolete Cryptographic Algorithms:
MD5, SHA1
Non-Cryptographic Algorithms:
XXHash64, MurmurHash3_128 [x86,x64]
High-level syntax:
[options] [-L|--list] <items_to_be_hashed>
[options] <-d|--dir> [drive_path] [wildcards_to_hash]
[options] <-k|--compare> <file1> <file2>
[options] <-g|--generate-list> <file_list> [-r] <-d|--dir> [drive_path] [wildcards_to_hash]
[options] <-x|--check> <file_list> [drive_path]
[options] <-y|--verify> <file> <hash|hash_list>
[options] <--vm|--verify-many> <file_list> [drive_path]
[options] <--hl|--hash-lookup> <hash|hash_list> [-r] <-d|--dir> [drive_path] [wildcards_to_hash]
[options] <--e64|--encode64> <text|file>
[options] <--d64|--decode64> <text|file>
