NAME

       rahash2 — block-based hashing, encoding and encryption utility

SYNOPSIS

       rahash2  [-BbdehjkLqrv] [-a algo] [-b size] [-c hash] [-D deco] [-e] [-E enco] [-f from] [-i num] [-I iv]
               [-j] [-J] [-L] [-S seed] [-k] [-s string] [-t to] [-x hexstr] [-X] [-v] [[file] ...]

DESCRIPTION

This program is part of the radare project.

It's particularly useful for hashing large files and identifying modifications in forensics filesystem
analysis.

This command provides the same features as the 'ph' command of radare.

-a algo Comma-separated list of algorithms to use when hashing files or strings. Refer to -L to list
supported hashing algorithms. This flag can be passed multiple times instead of separating
them by commas.

-b size Specify the block size.

-c hash Compare the computed hash with the provided one. This is allowed only when a single hash is
computed.

-D deco Decrypt using the specified algorithm. Use -S to set the key and -I to set the IV.

-e Swap endianness to show digests or injest keys in big or little endian.

-E enco Encrypt using the specified algorithm. Use -S to set the key and -I to set the IV.

-f from Start hashing at the given address.

-i num Repeat hash `num` iterations.

-I iv Use the given initialization vector (IV) (hexadecimal or string).

-j Display output in JSON format.

-J New simplified JSON output format (equivalent to -jj).

-k Display hash using OpenSSH's randomkey algorithm.

-L List available hash, checksum and crypto plugins. This flag can be combined with -j to read
the results in JSON format.

-s string Hash the provided string instead of using the 'source' and 'hash-file' arguments.

-S seed Use the given seed (hexadecimal or string). Use ^ to prefix (key for -E). '-' will slurp the
key from stdin, and '@' prefix points to a file.

-t to Stop hashing at the given address.

-x hexstr Hash the provided hexadecimal string instead of using 'source' and 'hash-file' arguments.

-X Output of encryption in hexpairs instead of raw (see -j for json output)

-v Display version information.

EXAMPLES

       Calculate the MD5 hash of the 'ls' binary:

         $ rahash2 -qqa md5 /bin/ls

       Calculate the SHA256 hash of string from stdin:

         $ echo -n "Hello, World" | rahash2 -a sha256 -
         $ rahash2 -a sha256 -s "Hello, World"

       Compare CRC32 of the given file didnt changed:

         $ rahash2 -qqa crc32 /bin/ls
         63212007
         $ rahash2 -a crc32 -c 63212007 /bin/ls
         INFO: Computed hash matches the expected one
         $ echo $?
         0

       List only the cryptographic plugins loaded:

         $ rahash2 -L | grep ^c

         $ rahash2 -qqa crc32 /bin/ls

       Encode the string "Hello World" with base64:

         $ rahash2 -E base64 -s "Hello World"

       Calculate SHA256 hash of a specific part of a file:

         $ rahash2 -qqa sha256 -f 0x1000 -t 0x2000 file_to_hash

       Encrypt and decrypt the "hello" string using the ror and rol plugins:

         $ rahash2 -S 12333 -E ror -s hello && echo
         Cell{
         $ rahash2 -S 12333 -E rol -s Cell{ && echo
         hello

       Encrypting and decrypting using AES-CBC:

         $ export AES_KEY="11111111111111111111111111113211"
         $ rahash2 -E aes-ecb -S "$AES_KEY" -s "hello world you bastard" > .file
         $ cat .file | rahash2 -D aes-ecb -S "$AES_KEY" -s - && echo

       Encrypting a file using Blowfish and encode it into a json:

         $ rahash2 -E blowfish -S "11111111111111111111111111113211" -j /bin/ls > ls.json

DIAGNOSTICS

       The rahash2 utility exits 0 on success, and >0 if an error occurs.

       When using the -c flag, an exit status of 0 indicates a match between the expected and computed hashes.
