HashAnvik: A MD5/SHA-1/SHA-256 hash checker for Linux

Hi Guys!! This is my first project in wxPython and I'm very excited. I have written a wxPython application to check hash'es of binary/text/other files. This application supports hashes in MD5(most popular), SHA-1 and SHA-256 (other popular) hashes.

It's available for download at sourceforge website at:  https://sourceforge.net/projects/hashanvik/

Written in wxPython, it is cross-plaform (though, I'm yet to upload a Windows executable. I promise to upload it soon).

You can checkout the source code available in the file(deb) by extracting/un-packing the deb file. It's released under the GNU GPL license, you are free to edit/reuse the source-code for your purposes.


 Happy Hashing!!
