The SHA-256 Project - PyPI

Python package implementing of the SHA-256 Secure Hashing Algorithm defined in FIPS 180-4 with a command-line interface.

• SHA-256 - An Implementation of Secure Hashing Algorithm 2 (SHA-2) with 256-bit digest.
• This implementation is based on the pseudocode algorithm from Wikipedia and The SHA-256 Project

Usage

1. Hashing a string

python sha256.py -s 'message string'

Screenshot example - String hashing compared with Python's Hashlib sha256 result

2. Hashing a file

python sha256.py -f input-file.txt

Screesnhot example - File hashing

Testing
