Description-en: hashing tool supporting several hashes and recursivity
Hashrat is a hash-generation utility that supports the md5, sha1, sha256,
sha512, whirlpool, jh-244, jh256, jh-384 and jh-512 hash functions, and
also the HMAC versions of those functions. It can output in 'traditional'
format (same as md5sum and shasum and the like), or it's own format.
.
Hashes can be output in octal, decimal, hexadecimal, uppercase hexadecimal
or base64.
.
Hashrat also supports directory recursion, hashing entire devices,
generating a hash for an entire directory, operations in remote machines
and several other features. It has a 'CGI' mode that can be used as a
web-page to lookup hashes.
.
This tool is useful in forensics investigations and network security.
