Note that this utility is NOT needed for X-Ways Forensics because it is already intelligent enough to work out from your initialised hash database what values to import. i.e. if you initiliased as SHA-1, it will injest only the SHA-1 values. In other words, XWF does for you, automatically, what this tool does manually. But you may not be fortunate enough to own a license of XWF and the NSRL hash databases are so large that even tools like Excel, LibreOffice Calc and Notepad++ will fail to open all the millions of lines making it challenging for you to extract just the SHA-1, or MD5 or CRC values into a single column. Or you may just need to use something else as well as X-Ways Forensics, in which case a tool like this may be of use to you. Or it may not. Single executable - just double click to launch. No DLL, no installation needed, no Java Run Time Environment to be installed, no Python Interpreters needed. - + +![Alt text](NSRL_Stripper.png?raw=true "NSRL Stripper")
