Picugen

Picugen is a cryptographic and non-cryptographic hash/checksum generator written in Go. It can be used to easily obtain digests of strings and files using a large variety of algorithms including MD5, SHA-1, and SHA-256.

Usage: picugen [-a <algorithm>] [-salt <salt>] [-s <string to hash>] / <file(s) to hash>

Note: For complex strings, put the string in a file, then run Picugen on the file. (Don’t add newlines to the file as they will alter the output.)
