Hi there

because of comparison reasons I'd like to know how Phax calculate the SHA1 hashcode.
Using other programms to calculate the SHA1-hash gives me a different value than Phex does fot the same file.

Can anyone help me out on this one?

Jan de Echte

The only reason I can think of for this is, that some programs use lowercase base32 encoding for the sha1, while Gnutella always uses uppercase base32:
Base32 - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

That could be the matter.
I'll try to check this out.
Meanwhile;
You (or anyone else) knows a programm that can generate the desired hashcode?

PS
the hashes are fulle different, not only the upper/low cases......

Phex uses source contributed from Philippe Verdy to the Bitzi project to calculate SHA1

SourceForge.net Repository - [phex] Index of /phex/trunk/src/main/java/com/bitzi/util

Bitzi Bitcollider Utility

couldn't find any full program calculating the same hash as Phex does.
Gonna work with this info.
