DEPRECATED

I HIGHLY advise using the built in nodejs crypto.createHash() function instead of mhash.

Description

Provides several hashing algorithms for node.js by binding to mhash

NOTE: MacOS X users need to have XCode installed (provides gcc)

Installation with NPM

npm install mhash --python=python2

May need to manually run first to build mhash dep:

./libmhash-config.sh
./libmhash-build.sh

Usage

Syntax: hash("algo-type", String || Buffer)
//First argument is a string, one of the supported algorihms below.
//Second argument can either be a String or a Buffer.

var hash = require("mhash");

console.log(hash("md2", "testing"));

Supported Hashing Algorithms

• crc32

• crc32b

• md2

• md4

• md5

• haval128

• haval160

• haval192

• haval224

• haval256

• sha1

• sha224

• sha256

• sha384

• sha512

• ripemd128

• ripemd160

• ripemd256

• ripemd320

• tiger128

• tiger160

• tiger192

• gost

• whirlpool

• adler32

• snefru128

• snefru256

Known Issues

The crc32 and crc32b may not be what you expect due the way the mhash library computes these.

See Issue #1 for more details.

Manual Installation

git clone "https://github.com/Sembiance/mhash.git"
cd mhash
node-gyp configure build
