Hash Compare Tool — Digest Equality Check Workspace
Honest handler note — threat-intel placeholder; compare digests manually with hash-identifier
How to Use This Tool
- This slug's handler is threat-intel API — not hash comparison.
- Do not enter IP or domain expecting digest compare output.
- Generate expected digest with password-hasher locally.
- Use hash-identifier when algorithm of unknown digest is unclear.
- Compare digests with constant-time equals in application code.
- Watch for future dedicated hash-compare client widget.
About This Tool
Password reset verification, artifact integrity confirmation, and forensic triage often require comparing two digests for equality — operators expect side-by-side hash compare, not a threat intelligence lookup. VSPIC documents missing-tools-handlers.generated.ts honestly: hash-compare-tool maps to type api with action threat-intel and a query field — a registry placeholder unrelated to digest comparison.
For hash workflows today, use password-hasher to generate expected digests locally, hash-identifier to guess algorithm from unknown digest format, and constant-time compare in application code for production security. This page explains the mismatch and points to working hash siblings.
Common use cases
- •Check if a VPN or proxy is detected on your connection
- •Validate SSL certificates before launch
- •Scan for email addresses in known breaches
Why use VSPIC for ?
- Transparent threat-intel placeholder documentation.
- Clear path to password-hasher and hash-identifier.
- Avoids false expectation of compare UI from security form.
- Honest SEO aligned with actual handler behavior.
- Points to secure constant-time compare best practices.
- Free hash siblings after page load.
Hash compare expectations versus threat-intel handler
Hash compare tools accept two digest strings, normalize case, and report equality — ideally with constant-time comparison. Registry assigned threat-intel placeholder for this slug.
Manual compare workflow
Generate digest A with password-hasher from known input. Compare visually or with script using crypto.timingSafeEqual on decoded buffers in Node.
Use hash-identifier for unknown digests
When log dump contains forty-character hex, hash-identifier suggests SHA1 versus truncated SHA256 candidates by length heuristics.
Constant-time comparison importance
String === on password hashes may leak timing information. Production auth uses timingSafeEqual on equal-length buffers.
Case normalization
Hex digests may be uppercase or lowercase. Normalize to one case before compare — digests are case-insensitive for hex encoding.
Relationship to threat-intelligence-lookup
threat-intel action returns IP and domain reputation JSON. hash-compare-tool incorrectly maps to same action — treat threat-intelligence-lookup as canonical for that API.
Relationship to password-hasher
Generate reference digest from plaintext with password-hasher, then compare to stored hash from database export in secure environment.
Future dedicated compare handler
Registry may add client compare kind with two digest fields and timing-safe compare. Content will update when shipped.
API action threat-intel on this slug
GET /ip-tools/api/extended?action=threat-intel&query= returns reputation brief — ignore for digest compare use cases.
Important notes & limitations
- hash-compare-tool does not compare hashes today.
- threat-intel API returns reputation brief — unrelated to digests.
- No side-by-side digest input fields on this slug.
- Timing-safe compare belongs in server code — not visual diff.
- Case sensitivity matters for hex digest string compare.
