About:
Rhash is a console utility for computing CRC32, MD4, MD5, SHA1, SHA256, SHA512, SHA3, Tiger, TTH, BTIH, AICH, ED2K, and many other hash sums. It can also create and verify magnet links and .torrent files. The tool is valuable for verifying file integrity and authenticity across various cryptographic standards.

Key Features:

Supports a wide array of hash algorithms including CRC32, MD5, SHA1, SHA256, and SHA3
Ability to create and verify magnet links and .torrent files
Recursive directory processing and file verification via hash files
Cross-platform support and lightweight command-line interface

Use Cases:

Verifying downloaded files against provided checksums to ensure integrity
Generating hash sums for secure file transfers and data verification
Creating magnet links and torrent files for file sharing

Alternatives:

coreutils – Provides basic md5sum and sha256sum, but Rhash supports more algorithms and torrent features
shasum – Perl script included in macOS, limited to SHA family hashes compared to Rhash's broader support
