Description-en: recursively compute hashsums or piecewise hashings
hashdeep is a set of tools to compute MD5, SHA1, SHA256, tiger
and whirlpool hashsums of arbitrary number of files recursively.
.
The main hashdeep features are:
.
* It can compare those hashsums with a list of known hashes;
* The tools can display those that match the list or those that
does not match;
* It can display a time estimation when processing large files.
* It can do piecewise hashing (hashing input files in arbitrary
sized blocks).
.
This package is useful in forensics investigations.
