Hashdeep

One minute read in Linux

I found hashdeep very useful for files integrity audition.

For my purpose I used two commands:

hashdeep -c sha1 -r ./test/ > hashdeep-hashes-2019-02-11.txt

and

hashdeep -c sha1 -r ./test/ -X -k hashdeep-hashes-2019-02-11.txt

First command traverses passed directory and all subdirectories, then writes in stdout for every file it size, hash and path:

%%%% HASHDEEP-1.0
%%%% size,sha1,filename
## Invoked from: /home/yoda/Desktop
## $ hashdeep -c sha1 -r ./test/
## 
3677111,6a326d3af131449f1f27d6e2c3a94ba697805b03,/home/yoda/Desktop/test/sv-jug-adba-5022946.pdf
4833844,1da68b71c99be03f0f6a5d5f82ebfab3ebf4c821,/home/yoda/Desktop/test/thesis.pdf

Second command used to verify, that content in particular folder matches file sizes and hashes from previously created file:

%%%% HASHDEEP-1.0
%%%% size,sha1,filename
## Invoked from: /home/yoda/Desktop
## $ hashdeep -c sha1 -r -X -k hashdeep-hashes-2019-02-11.txt ./test/
## 
296,6c004046edc8bf2efb99a185e68895be610f10d7,/home/yoda/Desktop/test/sv-jug-adba-5022946.pdf

in this case hashdeep reports that content of sv-jug-adba-5022946.pdf was changed.
