Hash It

A simple C++ command-line utility for computing hashes of strings or files. Designed for ease of use and extensibility.

Features

• Compute cryptographic hashes of strings and files
• Modular structure: easy to plug in new algorithms
• Open to contributions

Available Hashes

Algorithm	Flag	Status
SHA-256	--SHA256	Supported
SHA-1	--SHA1	Supported
SHA-512	--SHA512	Planned

Build Instructions

Make sure you have a C++17 compatible compiler installed (like g++), then run:

make

This will compile the project and generate an executable named getHash.

Usage

Hash a string:

./getHash --SHA256 "hello world"

No need for quotes if you use a single-word string. Use quotes for multi-word input.

Hash a file:

./getHash --SHA256 --FILE /path/to/your/file.txt

The hash will be printed to the terminal.

Installing and requirements (DEBIAN)

Installation of Hash It requires root permissions.

Required dependencies - git
if git is not installed use

sudo apt-get install git -y

to install git.
