The Directory Differential hTool

DDH traverses input directories and their subdirectories. It also hashes files as needed and reports findings.

The H in "hTool" is silent. The H in its abbreviation, "DDH," is not.

This tool is called DDH for two very good reasons.

• DDT is a dangerous pesticide
• I mistyped when I created the project

Install

• Install Rust
• git clone https://github.com/darakian/ddh.git ddh
• cd ddh
• cargo build --release
• The DDH binary will then be at target/release/ddh

Features

DDH supports both a standard output for human comprehension and a parsable json output for machines.

How Does DDH Work?

DDH works by hashing files to determine their uniqueness and, as such, depends heavily on disk speeds for performance.
