signet
Easily compare SHA/MD5/BLAKE2 hashes.
what?
signet attempts to make it easy to visually compare hashes/data by generating a randomart-esque ASCII art:
$ sha256sum ./signet.c ./matrix.c

71119e0e9132c7d943505e44995a38d2747f6be0db7beb4be77ffaca3d63a937 ./matrix.c
$ sha256sum ./signet.c ./matrix.c | ./signet

how?
It uses an algorithm very similar to the one SSH uses to generate the
randomart seen when generating a new key (ssh-keygen). This algorithm
is more fully described in the following two locations:
where?
build dependencies:
- C99 compiler, GNU Make
tl;dr:
$ git clone git://github.com/lptstr/signet.git
$ make clean all
# make install
why?
¯\_(ツ)_/¯
