A privacy-focused, client-side cryptographic hash generation tool that computes multiple hash algorithms simultaneously in real-time directly within your browser.
The xsukax Cryptographic Hash Generator is a comprehensive web-based utility designed for developers, security professionals, and anyone requiring immediate access to multiple cryptographic hash functions. Built as a single-page application with zero server dependencies, it provides instant hash computation across 15+ algorithms including legacy hashes (MD5, SHA-1), modern SHA-2 and SHA-3 variants, BLAKE family hashes, and advanced password hashing functions (bcrypt, scrypt, Argon2).
The application distinguishes itself by computing all standard hash algorithms simultaneously as you type, eliminating the need for repeated manual operations. For advanced use cases requiring parameter configuration—such as password hashing with adjustable cost factors—the tool provides intuitive controls with sensible defaults.
All cryptographic computations execute entirely within your browser using WebAssembly-optimized implementations via the hash-wasm library. No data ever leaves your device—no network requests, no server uploads, no third-party analytics. Your sensitive information remains under your complete control.
The application maintains no local storage, cookies, or cached data. Hash computations are performed in real-time and exist only in volatile memory. Closing the browser tab permanently erases all processed information, ensuring no forensic trace remains.
As an open-source tool with fully auditable code, security researchers and privacy-conscious users can verify the application's behavior. The entire functionality resides in a single HTML file, making comprehensive security audits straightforward and establishing trust through transparency.
For password hashing algorithms requiring salt values (bcrypt, scrypt, Argon2), the application utilizes the browser's crypto.getRandomValues() API, which provides cryptographically secure pseudorandom numbers suitable for security-sensitive operations.
Algorithms with known vulnerabilities (MD5, SHA-1) are clearly marked with warning indicators, educating users about security implications while still providing access for compatibility or research purposes.

Access the application immediately without installation:
https://xsukax.github.io/xsukax-Cryptographic-Hash-Generator
git clone https://github.com/xsukax/xsukax-Cryptographic-Hash-Generator.git
cd xsukax-Cryptographic-Hash-GeneratorThe application requires serving through HTTP/HTTPS due to browser security policies. Choose one method:
Using Python 3:
python -m http.server 8000Using Python 2:
python -m SimpleHTTPServer 8000Using Node.js (http-server):
npx http-server -p 8000Using PHP:
php -S localhost:8000Navigate to http://localhost:8000 in your web browser.
While modern browsers may support opening index.html directly, some features might be restricted due to CORS policies. Local server deployment (Option 2) is recommended for full functionality.
- Modern web browser with JavaScript enabled
- WebAssembly support (available in all browsers since 2017)
- No server-side PHP configuration required—application is pure client-side HTML/JavaScript

- Cost Factor (4-12): Higher values increase computational difficulty exponentially
- Default: 8 (suitable for most applications)
- Recommendation: 10-12 for high-security scenarios
- N (CPU Cost): Computational difficulty (2-16384)
- r (Memory Factor): Memory block size (1-16)
- p (Parallelization): Parallel threads (1-4)
- Defaults: N=1024, r=8, p=1
- Iterations: Number of passes through memory (1-10)
- Memory (KB): RAM usage (8-4096 KB)
- Parallelism: Thread count (1-4)
- Defaults: iterations=3, memory=512KB, parallelism=1
- Argon2id: Recommended for general password hashing (hybrid approach)
- Argon2i: Optimized for side-channel resistance
- Argon2d: Maximizes resistance against GPU attacks

This application does not require PHP or any server-side processing. It is a pure client-side JavaScript application. The mention of PHP in installation options refers only to using PHP's built-in web server as a convenient method to serve static files locally during development or testing. No php.ini configuration or PHP extensions are necessary for the application to function.
- Chrome/Edge 57+
- Firefox 52+
- Safari 11+
- Opera 44+
- Any browser with WebAssembly support
- Production Use: For password hashing in production systems, always use server-side implementations with proper salt management and secure storage
- Salt Values: Demo uses static salts for configurable hashes; production implementations must use cryptographically random, unique salts per password
- Legacy Algorithms: MD5 and SHA-1 are marked with warnings and should only be used for compatibility with legacy systems, not for new security-critical applications
- Browser Security: Ensure you're using the official GitHub Pages deployment or verify the integrity of locally hosted versions
