Compilation of Python Code Snippets for Hashing

Performing relevant hashing operations is an essential skill in penetration testing. Here is a compilation of code snippets for common hash implementations in Python.

md5 :

import hashlib

mystring = input('Enter String to hash: ')
# Assumes the default UTF-8
hash_object = hashlib.md5(mystring.encode())
print(hash_object.hexdigest())

sha1:

import hashlib

hash_object = hashlib.sha1(b'Hello World')
hex_dig = hash_object.hexdigest()
print(hex_dig)

SHA256:

hashlib

hash_object = hashlib.sha256(b'Hello World')
hex_dig = hash_object.hexdigest()
print(hex_dig)

sha512:

import hashlib

input = 'test'
hash = hashlib.sha512( str( input ).encode("utf-8") ).hexdigest()
print(hash)

DSA:

import hashlib

hash_object = hashlib.new('DSA')
hash_object.update(b'Hello World')
print(hash_object.hexdigest())
