rustgenhash

rustgenhash is a tool to generate hashes on the commandline from stdio.

It can be used to generate single or multiple hashes for usage in password databases or even in penetration testing scenarios where you want to test password cracking tools.

Install

rustgenhash is written in Rust. You can install the tool with your Rust installation using following command:

bash cargo install rustgenhash

Usage

Rustgenhash has a command line interface which allows you to set the utility into a specific operating mode. The current modes are

• stdio
• string
• file

After selecting the mode you will need to provide the -a switch for selecting a suitable hashing algorithm and a string or file to be hashed. The stdio mode allows you to pipe to the rustgenhash command. The tool will hash the passed lines from the stdio (useful for hashing password lists).

The file mode supports hashing of multiple files in a directory and currently works non-recursive.

Scheme for string hashing:

bash rustgenhash string -a <algorithm> <string>

Scheme for file hashing:

bash rustgenhash file -a <algorithm> <filename or directory>

Scheme for string hashing from stdio:

bash cat myfile | rustgenhash stdio -a <algorithm>

bash echo "mypassword" | rustgenhash stdio -a <algorithm>

You can list all algorithms over the help function.
