Simple hash

Ported/based on Apache Shiro default hash service.

Features

• SHA-512 algorithm only
• reading data to be hashed from pipe or stdin (prompt)
• configurable iterations, defaults to 1
• generating random salt, if none provided
• providing a private salt
• salt & private salt need to be base64 encoded, when provided
• computed hash is base64 encoded

Build

go build -o hasher ./main.go

Usage

Prompt:

; ./hasher
Data to hash: hello
m3HSJL1i83hdltRq0+o9czGb+8KJDKra4t/3JRlnPKcjI8PZm6XBHXx6zG4UuMXaDEZjR1wuXDre9G9zvN7AQw==

Pipe:

; echo -n "hello" | ./hasher
m3HSJL1i83hdltRq0+o9czGb+8KJDKra4t/3JRlnPKcjI8PZm6XBHXx6zG4UuMXaDEZjR1wuXDre9G9zvN7AQw==

More iterations:

; echo -n "hello" | ./hasher --iterations 1000

Provide a salt, no random generation:

; echo -n "hello" | ./hasher --salt $(echo -n "my salt" | base64)

Provide a private salt, extra random salt generated:

; echo -n "hello" | ./hasher --private-salt $(echo -n "my private salt" | base64)

Provide a private salt, no random salt generated:

; echo -n "hello" | ./hasher --private-salt $(echo -n "my private salt" | base64) --salt $(echo -n "my salt" | base64)
