This Rust-powered CLI tool lets you:

Convert a string to its SHA-256 hash.
Check a given hash against a password list to uncover potential matches.

With its simplicity and blazing-fast performance, this tool is perfect for developers, security professionals, or anyone passionate about safeguarding sensitive information.

Features

🔑 String to Hash Conversion: Convert any plain text string into its corresponding SHA-256 hash in a snap.
🛡️ Hash Checking: Compare a given SHA-256 hash with a known password list and find matches quickly and efficiently.

Where It Works

This tool is ideal for:

🔒 Security Professionals: Verify or reverse-engineer hashes during pentesting.
🛠️ Developers: Quickly hash strings or test password security.
🌐 Anyone Concerned with Security: Ensure sensitive data is hashed securely.

Installation

Ready to get started? Here's how you can install and use Password Hash-Checker:

Step 1: Download the Latest Release

Visit the Releases Page or directly Download the latest version for your platform. Grab the pass_list.txt file containing over 100,000+ passwords to use for hash comparison.

Step 2: Setup

Open your terminal and navigate to the folder where the executable is downloaded.
Copy the executable to the /usr/local/bin directory using the command:

sudo cp ./hash_check /usr/local/bin/

Grant executable permission:

chmod +x /usr/local/bin/hash_check

Now you can access hash_check from anywhere in the terminal.

Usage

1️⃣ Convert a String to Hash

Hash any plain text string:

hash_check -p "path_to_password-file.txt" -s "hello world"

2️⃣ Convert a Hash to String

Check if a given hash matches any password in your list:

hash_check -p "path_to_password-file.txt" -x "b94d27b9934d3e08a52e52d7da7dabfac484efe37a5380ee9088f7ace2efcde9"

Error Handling

The tool is designed to handle errors gracefully:

Invalid file paths.
