CLI file hashing using Rust

Hash Rust

A small CLI project to hash files using various algorithms, using Rust

HashRust is a command-line util for hashing files. Supports MD5, SHA1, SHA2, SHA3, Blake2 and Whirlpool. Multi-threaded by default using Rayon.

Building

cargo build -r

It was build on Windows, but has an option to behave in a case-sensitive way for Linux.

Usage

hash_rust.exe filespec [flags] [options]

For example:
  hash_rust.exe *.txt -a sha2
  hash_rust.exe *.txt --algorithm md5 --debug

Or pipe in a list of files:
  dir *.txt /b | hash_rust.exe

Flags

    -h, --help                   Prints help information
    -d, --debug                  Debug messages
    -c, --case-sensitive         Case-sensitive glob matching
    -x, --exclude-filenames      Exclude filenames from output
    -s, --single-thread          Single-threaded (not multi-threaded)

Options

    -a, --algorithm [algorithm]  Hash algorithm to use
    -e, --encoding [encoding]    Encoding to use (hex, base64, base32)
    -l, --limit [num]            Limit number of files processed (eg only process the first one)

CRC32 can only be output as 32-bit integer, the -e option cannot be used with it.

Algorithms supported

    MD5, SHA1,
    WHIRLPOOL, BLAKE2S-256, BLAKE2B-512,
    SHA2 / SHA2-256, SHA2-224, SHA2-384, SHA2-512, 
    SHA3 / SHA3-256, SHA3-384, SHA3-512

    The default is SHA3-256

Powershell integration

The project also includes a Powershell wrapper to parse the output into useful objects.

$results = dir *.txt | .\hashfile.ps1 -algorithm sha3
..or..
$results = .\hashfile.ps1 *.txt -algorithm sha3
