[Feature] Output Options #202

Open simsong opened 11 years ago

simsong commented 11 years ago

Converted from SourceForge issue 1424766, submitted by nobody

Would like to see some Output Options added, similar to those of the ReHash utility (also at SourceForge). E.g. -out:uphex , -out:base64 , etc.

@simsong I was wondering why this issue has been closed? Has the support for base64 been added already and if yes, please provide usage for it.

simsong commented 7 years ago

Sorry. I must have closed this in error.

What is the purpose of this request? How would it improve the functionality of the program? It doesn't appear that this improvement is wroth the added code complexity and testing requirements.

tHBp commented 7 years ago

Currently I'm in middle of an implementation which requires base64 encoded hashes only. I've been using hashdeep but couldn't find the specific options for base64 output. I've since found a workaround which uses xxd to convert the hexdump returned by hashdeep to base64 output. Still, it would be nice if hashdeep did that on its own.

What xxd option are you Using to convert hex to base64?

@simsong cat hash_from_hashdeep | xxd -r -p | base64 Results seem to be consistent with those obtained from openssl

simsong commented 7 years ago

That's pretty twisted. Congratulations on getting that to work. Would it be easier to write a small converter in python?

In any event, if you want to submit a patch, I'm happy to look at it.

--out:base58 for base58, we need to publish hash-digests in official gazette.
