SHA1 hash of a string in Ruby
To find the SHA1 hash of a string, first include the library digest/sha1
then use the code below, where password
is the string we’re computing the hash of. In this exmaple we’ve set password
to blah
.
The snippet below assigns the SHA1 hash of our password (blah
) to the variable sha1_pass
.
require ‘digest/sha1′
# ... then later on ...
password = "blah"
sha1_pass = Digest::SHA1.hexdigest(password)
