Python PGP Check

A quick python CLI tool to verify file PGP hashes

Installation and usage

Install it with python pip using

    pip install python-pgp-check

Usage

Calculate Hash

to calculate the hash of a file:

    python-pgp-check <file_path>

Verify Hash

To verify a file against an expected hash:

    python-pgp-check <file_path> <expected_hash>

Specifying Hash Algorithm

By default, SHA-256 is used. To use a different algorithm:

    python-pgp-check <file_path> [<expected_hash>] --algorithm <algorithm>

Supported algorithms: md5, sha1, sha256, sha512

Examples

Calculate SHA-256 hash:

    python-pgp-check /path/to/file

Verify file with SHA-256 hash:

python-pgp-check /path/to/file 5e884898da28047151d0e56f8dc6292773603d0d6aabbdd62a11ef721d1542d8

Calculate MD5 hash:

python-pgp-check /path/to/file --algorithm md5

Verify file with SHA-512 hash:

python-pgp-check /path/to/file 3c9909afec25354d551dae21590bb26e38d53f2173b8d3dc3eee4c047e7ab1c1eb8b85103e3be7ba613b31bb5c9c36214dc9f14a42fd7a2fdb84856bca5c44c2 --algorithm sha512
