Hash Tools

This versatile Python script, powered by the Tkinter library, provides a simple graphical interface to both verify whether a provided hash (MD5, SHA-1, SHA-256, SHA-384, SHA-512, BLAKE2b, or BLAKE2s) matches the content of a selected file and generate hashes for any file. This project was created with the purpose of learning Python.

Requirements

• Python 3.x installed on your system.
• pyperclip v1.8.2

Usage

Use the Executable

1. Download and Run the Executable:

   • Obtain the executable file (hashTools.exe) from your desired location and double-click to launch the application.

2. Interact with the Graphical Interface:

   • The graphical interface is divided into two tabs: "Check Hash" and "Generate Hash."

     • Check Hash Tab:

       • Use the dropdown menu to choose the hash function.
       • Enter the hash to check in the provided field.
       • Click the "Select file to check hash" button to choose the file.
       • Click the "Check Hash" button to perform the verification.

     • Generate Hash Tab:

       • Select this tab if you want to generate a hash for any file.
       • Use the dropdown menu to choose the hash function.
       • Click the "Select file to generate hash" button to choose the file.
       • The generated hash will be displayed, and you can copy it to the clipboard using the "Copy Hash" button.

Use the Script

1. Clone the repository to your local machine:

git clone https://github.com/Cayetano97/hashTools.git

2. Navigate to the project directory:

cd hashTools

3. Install the required dependencies using pip and the requirements.txt file:

pip install -r requirements.txt

4. Run the script:

python hashTools.py

Warning

Exercise caution when handling files and providing hashes. Ensure a full understanding of the script's purpose and implications before use.

Verifying Hash using PowerShell (Windows)

To verify the hash of a file using PowerShell:

1. Open PowerShell.

2. Navigate to the directory where your file is located using the cd command.

3. Use the Get-FileHash cmdlet to calculate the hash of the file:

   Get-FileHash -Algorithm SHA256 .\your_file.txt

   Replace your_file.txt with the actual name of your file.

Compare the displayed hash with the hash you want to verify. If they match, the file content is unchanged.
