### Antivirus False Positives:
62-
- Several antivirus programs on VirusTotal incorrectly detect hashgen as a false positive. This issue primarily affects the Windows executable binary, but is not limited to it. I recommend every user carefully review hashgen's source code, then proceed to compile the binary themselves.

- If you find hashgen helpful, please upload your compiled hashgen binaries to https://virustotal.com and/or https://virusscan.jotti.org. Additionally, leaving an upvote or a comment on Virus Total would be helpful.

### Thoughts:

- Why write hashgen? hashgen is nothing new (to me) as this project started several years ago while needing a way to quickly convert wordlists to md5 or sha1 on linux terminal. Several versions of hashgen have been written over the years in several languages: python, php, Go, C and Rust. While the actively maintained version is hashgen (go), which offers enhanced features and superior performance, the "hashgen-testing" repository linked below contains testing versions of hashgen in different programming languages:

- Why write hashgen in Go instead of xyz language? I did this to push my Go coding skills while also seeing how fast I could push Go. During early testing, I was not expecting hashgen to be all that fast, but I have been pleasantly surprised!

- When I realized hashgen (go) was competitively fast compared to other publicly available hash generators, I decided to publish hashgen's code and binaries for others to use. I've really enjoyed this project and I hope you find it useful.

- If you found hashgen to be helpful, please consider giving this repository a star!
