Hashinator

Hashinator is a Python script that generates multiple hash types (MD5, SHA1, SHA256, SHA512) for files within a specified folder. It creates an interactive HTML report with comprehensive file information, advanced filtering, and sorting capabilities.

Features

Hash Generation

• Calculates multiple hash types:
  • MD5
  • SHA1
  • SHA256
  • SHA512
• Progress tracking for large folders
• Error handling for inaccessible files

File Information

• File size (human-readable format: B, KB, MB, GB, TB)
• File modification date
• MIME type detection
• File type filtering

Interactive HTML Report

• Dark/Light mode toggle
• Real-time search functionality
• File type filtering dropdown
• Sortable columns (click headers to sort)
• Copy buttons for file names and hashes
• Responsive design
• Modern UI with hover effects

Dependencies

• Python 3.x
• pyperclip (for clipboard operations)
• tqdm (for progress bars)

Install dependencies:

pip install pyperclip tqdm

Usage

1. Clone the repository or download the hashinator.py file

2. Install dependencies:

   pip install -r requirements.txt

3. Run the script with various options:

   Basic usage:

   python hashinator.py -f /path/to/folder

   With file type filtering:

   python hashinator.py -f /path/to/folder -t .txt .pdf .doc

   Custom output file:

   python hashinator.py -f /path/to/folder -o custom_report.html

Command Line Arguments

• -f, --folder: Path to the folder containing files (required)
• -o, --output: Output HTML file name (default: index.html)
• -t, --types: Filter by file types (e.g., .txt .pdf .doc)

HTML Report Features

Navigation and Filtering

• Search box for quick file filtering
• File type dropdown filter
• Dark/Light mode toggle
• Sortable columns

File Information Display

• File name
• File size (human-readable)
• File type (MIME)
• Last modified date
• Multiple hash values (MD5, SHA1, SHA256, SHA512)

Interactive Elements

• Copy buttons for file names and hashes
• Responsive table layout
• Hover effects for better UX

Security Considerations

• Handle hash values securely
• Exercise caution when sharing or storing generated hashes
• Be mindful of file permissions when scanning directories
• Consider the security implications of clipboard operations
