Hashing Program (shhs)

This project provides a command-line utility for calculating various cryptographic hashes (MD5, SHA-1, SHA-256, SHA-512) of files using the OpenSSL library. The program is modularized for better organization and maintainability.

Features

• Calculates and displays:
  • MD5
  • SHA-1
  • SHA-256
  • SHA-512
  • BLAKE2

Requirements

• C compiler (e.g., gcc)
• OpenSSL development libraries

Installation

1. Install OpenSSL Development Libraries:

   • On Ubuntu/Debian: sudo apt-get install libssl-dev
   • On Fedora: sudo dnf install openssl-devel
   • On macOS: brew install openssl

2. Clone or Download the Repository:

   git clone https://github.com/Qwer-TeX/shhs.git
   cd shhs
   

3. Build the Project: In the project directory, run: make

Usage

Run the program with the path to the file you want to hash:

./shhs <file>

Example

To hash a file named example.txt, use:

./shhs example.txt

Output

The program will output the hashes for the specified file in the following format:

MD5: <md5-hash>
SHA-1: <sha1-hash>
SHA-256: <sha256-hash>
SHA-512: <sha512-hash>

Cleaning Up

To clean up the compiled files, run:

make clean

Contributing

Feel free to fork the repository and submit pull requests. Contributions to add more hashing algorithms or improve the code structure are welcome!
