Post Defcon

As usual, Defcon was quite inspirational.  I have decided to dig deeper into Python so that I can better understand many of the great pentesting tools out there.  I also picked up a great book - Violent Python. I wrote this simple script after just reading the first 20 or so pages:

#!/usr/bin/python

# Import Modules

import hashlib

# Gather value to hash

v = raw_input("Enter your value: ")

print "Which hash algorithm do you want to use?"

# Select has algorithm

a = raw_input("md5, sha1, sha224, sha256, sha384, sha512: ")

# Generate hash

h = hashlib.new(a)

h.update(v)

# Present has to user

o = h.hexdigest()

print "Your hash value using the " + a + "value is: " + o

More to come!
