A simple file hash calculator supporting multiple algorithms

Project description

HashGenerator 🔒

HashGenerator is a simple Python package to calculate the hash of a file using various hashing algorithms.

Installation ⚙️

To install the package, use pip:

pip install HashGenerator

Usage 🚀

Here's how you can use the HashGenerator package to calculate file hashes:

from HashGenerator import calculate_hash

# Calculate SHA-256 hash
hash_value = calculate_hash('path/to/your/file.txt', 'sha256')
print(f"SHA-256: {hash_value}")

# Calculate MD5 hash
hash_value = calculate_hash('path/to/your/file.txt', 'md5')
print(f"MD5: {hash_value}")

# Calculate SHA-512 hash
hash_value = calculate_hash('path/to/your/file.txt', 'sha512')
print(f"SHA-512: {hash_value}")

Supported Algorithms 🔐

The following hashing algorithms are supported:

  • md5
  • sha1
  • sha224
  • sha256
  • sha384
  • sha512

Example 💡

Here's an example of how to use the HashGenerator package:

from HashGenerator import calculate_hash

file_path = 'example.txt'
algorithm = 'sha256'

hash_value = calculate_hash(file_path, algorithm)
print(f"The {algorithm} hash of the file is: {hash_value}")
