Assorted collection of shell scripts etc. to help with common IT tasks (by rdiez)
RHash
Great utility for computing hash sums (by rhash)
The number of mentions indicates the total number of mentions that we've tracked plus the number of user suggested alternatives.
Stars - the number of stars that a project has on GitHub. Growth - month over month growth in stars.
Activity is a relative number indicating how actively a project is being developed. Recent commits have higher weight than older ones.
For example, an activity of 9.0 indicates that a project is amongst the top 10% of the most actively developed projects that we are tracking.

External drives content index solution
Yeah, I ran across two programs that did this: https://github.com/rdiez/Tools/tree/master/RDChecksum Uses file existence, file size, and modified date to add/remove/rehash a file in the list. https://github.com/rhash/RHash Uses only file existence So both of these store relative file path/name with the hash to see if a given file is new/deleted, and RDChecksum additionally will rehash existing files if they've been modified. Personally I feel like just the existence of the file would be enough if you could also tell it to rehash just as specific sub-directory from a larger checksum file that you know has been updated

How do you protect yourself from failing drives and data corruption?
Calculate their digests with rhash or similar utilities (but not too frequently, or you'll beat up your hard drives! once a month is plenty).
- Forever version history has potential, this is an opportunity for BB
- How do I use these commands for a mac torrent? I'm not super Terminal literate.

went back to watch an old video, just to find out it was corrupted midway. previous backup must have overwritten it...is there any program that can scan for corrupted movie files or means to compare before overwriting?
checkout rhash

Crypto Resources
RHash is a great place to start. Easy-to-read cryptographic hash functions. Libsodium is your go-to though for cryptographically secure hash and encryption functions.
What are some alternatives?
When comparing Tools and RHash you can also consider the following projects:
gtkhash - A cross-platform desktop utility for computing message digests or checksums
hashdeep
libsodium - A modern, portable, easy to use crypto library.
tcl - The Tcl Core. (Mirror of core.tcl-lang.org)
OpenSSL - TLS/SSL and crypto library
