Democritus functions<sup>[1]</sup> for working with hashes.
[1] Democritus functions are <i>simple, effective, modular, well-tested, and well-documented</i> Python functions.
We use `d8s` (pronounced "dee-eights") as an abbreviation for `democritus` (you can read more about this [here](https://github.com/democritus-project/roadmap#what-is-d8s)).
## Installation
```
pip install d8s-hashes
```
## Usage
You import the library like:
```python
from d8s_hashes import *
```
Once imported, you can use any of the functions listed below.
## Functions
- ```python
def ssdeep(input_string: Union[str, bytes]) -> str:
"""."""
```
- ```python
def ssdeep_compare(ssdeep_1: str, ssdeep_2: str) -> int:
"""."""
```
- ```python
def md5(input_string: Union[str, bytes]) -> str:
"""."""
```
- ```python
def sha1(input_string: Union[str, bytes]) -> str:
"""."""
```
- ```python
def sha256(input_string: Union[str, bytes]) -> str:
"""."""
```
- ```python
def sha512(input_string: Union[str, bytes]) -> str:
"""Return the sha512 hash of the string."""
```
