Python Program to Find Hash of File

 

# Python rogram to find the SHA-1 message digest of a file

 

# importing the hashlib module

import hashlib

 

def hash_file(filename):

   """"This function returns the SHA-1 hash

   of the file passed into it"""

 

   # make a hash object

   h = hashlib.sha1()

 

   # open file for reading in binary mode

   with open(filename,'rb') as file:

 

       # loop till the end of the file

       chunk = 0

       while chunk != b'':

           # read only 1024 bytes at a time

           chunk = file.read(1024)

           h.update(chunk)

 

   # return the hex representation of digest

   return h.hexdigest()

 

message = hash_file("track1.mp3")

print(message)
