SHA1 Checksum Large Files with HTML5 Typed Arrays and Web Workers is a web-based tool that computes SHA1 checksums for large files directly in the browser. It uses HTML5 typed arrays and web workers to process files… Below are 24 products that do a similar job, ranked by how close each is in meaning and then by launch-day votes. SHA1 Checksum Large Files with HTML5 Typed Arrays and Web Workers launched in 2011; newer entries below may have overtaken it.

    The pattern of downloading and executing installation scripts without verifying them has bothered me for a while. I started messing around with a way to verify the checksum of scripts before I execute them. I've found it a really useful tool for installing things like Rust or Deno. It's written entirely as a shell script, and it's easy to read and understand what's happening. I hope it may be useful to someone else!

    Yes, it's open source: https://github.com/lissy93/web-check :) Why I'm building this? There are a lot of tools out there for discovering meta and security data relating to a website, IP or server. But currently, there isn't anything that does everything, all in one place and without a paywall/ user sign up. It's still a WIP, and I'm working on a new version, with some more comprehensive checks, so any feedback would be much appreciated :)

    Long-simmering side project that is finally ready to see the light. HAMTs are a cool persistent data structure and implementing one has been a lot of fun. Beyond the code, there is likely some value in the extensive and largely complete implementation docs; basic benchmarks are linked in the README, too. Kind of aiming to be "the libavl for HAMTs". That is obviously a high and aspirational bar but a distinct possibility if it stirs up a little interest and/or contribution. Anyways, it's time for this to go out, collect feedback and maybe even some use outside of toy projects. Let me…

    Hey HN, I find myself reaching for tools like it-tools.tech or other random sites every now and then during development or debugging. So, I built a toolkit with a sane and simple CLI interface for most of those tools. For the curious and lazy, at the moment, ut has tools for, - Encoding: base64 (encode, decode), url (encode, decode) - Hashing: md5, sha1, sha224, sha256, sha384, sha512 - Data Generation: uuid (v1, v3, v4, v5), token, lorem, random - Text Processing: case (lower, upper, camel, title, constant, header, sentence, snake), pretty-print, diff - Development Tools: calc, json…

    I built a tool called *Kekkai* for file integrity monitoring in production environments. It records file hashes during deployment and later verifies them to detect unauthorized modifications (e.g. from OS command injection or tampering). Why it matters: * Many web apps (PHP, Ruby, Python, etc.) on AWS EC2 need a lightweight way to confirm their code hasn’t been changed. * Traditional approaches that rely on metadata often create false positives. * Kekkai checks only file content, so it reliably detects real changes. * I’ve deployed it to an EC2 PHP application in production, and it’s working…
