Recursive Folder Content Hash Script


Keep hashes of the folder helps to keep integrity of contents. Specially for a web server this is very important to identify potential Remote File Intrusion incidents.


This hash calculator is written in python and possible to run cross platform. Both Linux and Windows were tested. Md5 hash, sha1 and sha512 hashes can be taken with each script.

Open python script from text editor and insert the folder location where hashes are needed. And run it in command line 'python hash-calc-md5.py' like wise.

Python 2.7 is needed to run these scripts.
