A Ruby terminal script that animates the SHA-256 hash function step by step, visualizing bitwise operations, message padding, and compression. It also includes scripts for individual SHA-256 operations and double-SHA256 (hash256) used in Bitcoin.
Use cases
- visualize how sha-256 hashing works step by step
- learn the bitwise operations inside the sha-256 algorithm
- animate a hash computation in the terminal for teaching
- compute double sha256 of bitcoin block headers or transactions
- run individual sha-256 functions like sigma or ch on binary strings
When to choose
- you want an interactive, visual explanation of SHA-256 internals
- you are teaching or learning cryptography and want to see each step
- you need to inspect double-SHA256 results for Bitcoin data
When to avoid
- you need a fast production-grade SHA-256 implementation
- you want a GUI or web-based visualization
- you need hashing of large files at speed
