Rash is a high-performance hashing algorithm designed to handle increasingly larger files by utilizing parallel computation. It divides files into blocks, hashes them in parallel, and then combines the block hashes into a final hash, similar to how a blockchain works.
- rsha256 (default) - Hash the blocks with sha256
- rsha512 (planned support) - Hash the blocks with sha512
Rash uses multi-threaded processing to hash file blocks, improving speed on large files. After hashing each block, it generates a final hash by combining the hashes of all blocks in sequence.
blockSize: Defines the size of the chunks the file will be split into for hashing.
# Using rsha256
rash rsha256 <path_to_file>
# Using rsha256 with a block size of 64MB
rash rsha256 --blockSize 64MB <path_to_file>
# Using rsha256 to check a file with hash generated:
rash check <path_to_file_with_hash>
#Obs: Block size in verification has to be the same of generation. So it will use of line with format
