Hashgen

Hash files and strings, verify checksums, and run integrity checks fast. Use when generating SHA hashes, verifying files, or comparing digest values.

Quick hash generator for strings and files. Supports MD5, SHA1, SHA256, SHA512 with auto-detection, comparison, and verification.

Commands

Command	Description
hashgen md5 <text>	MD5 hash of text
hashgen sha1 <text>	SHA1 hash of text
hashgen sha256 <text>	SHA256 hash of text
hashgen sha512 <text>	SHA512 hash of text
hashgen all <text>	Show all hash algorithms for text
hashgen file <path> [algo]	Hash a file (default: sha256)
hashgen compare <hash1> <hash2>	Compare two hashes
hashgen verify <text> <hash>	Verify text matches hash (auto-detects algorithm)
hashgen version	Show version

Examples

hashgen md5 "hello world"       # → MD5: 5eb63bbbe01...
hashgen sha256 "my secret"      # → SHA256: 40e1b17...
hashgen all "test"              # → shows MD5, SHA1, SHA256, SHA512
hashgen file /etc/hostname      # → SHA256 of file
hashgen file /etc/hostname md5  # → MD5 of file
hashgen compare abc123 abc123   # → ✅ MATCH
hashgen verify "hello" 5d41...  # → auto-detects algo, verifies

Requirements

• md5sum, sha1sum, sha256sum, sha512sum (standard coreutils)
