Module Module1 Sub Main() Dim strToHash As String strToHash = Command$() Dim sha1Obj As New Security.Cryptography.SHA1CryptoServiceProvider Dim bytesToHash() As Byte = System.Text.Encoding.ASCII.GetBytes(strToHash) bytesToHash = sha1Obj.ComputeHash(bytesToHash) Dim strResult As String = "" For Each b As Byte In bytesToHash strResult += b.ToString("x2") Next Console.Write(strResult) End Sub End Module
