Calculate SHA hex

By eidias on (tags: authentication, categories: tools)

Forms authentication has an option to use a web.config based authentication. One of the possible encryption algorithms is sha1. To calculate it, you can create a tool in c# (I even did that, but.. I lost it when my drive crashed) or you can use python.

It’s as simple as

   1: import sha
   2: sha.sha('<password goes here>').hexdigest()

There are probably many other ways to do that, but you must admit, this is a quick one
