SHA1 format for gnutella?
 

Hi

Ive notice gtk-gnutella is giving a sha1 of 3UXJINW6U57KWZVCJ7M62HSSFPJJXZ5Z for one of my local files.

What encoding is this in? base64 or something? I need to know so I can do some testing. my linux "sha1" utitlity and openssl are giving sha1 in hex format so its hard to verify.

Anyone know of a utility that will give the sha1 of a file, in the encoding gnutella uses?

The Gnutella sha1 encoding is BASE32 Uppercase.

For my own use I wrote a sha1_gnutella utility in python. You can find it in the Magma package on PyPI: Python Package Index : magma 0.3.9

Just install it to get the script sha1_gnutella.py which gives you the sha1 values of files.
