About

• lowhash loads a default sentence generator grammar unless grammar.txt is found in the current directory
• run lowhash and wait for it to produce strings with low hashes
• low hashes which are found will be automatically posted to https://lowhash.com
• low hashes will be printed to console, so if your internet is inaccessable, so look at the console

tag yourself!

• lowhash takes two optional arguments for specifying prefix and postfix.

examples

  lowhash                           => "The quick brown fox."
  lowhash "" ""                     => "The quick brown fox."
  lowhash "(william) "              => "(william) The quick brown fox."
  lowhash "<yo> " " -william"       => "<yo> The quick brown fox -william"

note

feel free to build your own faster search program. If you find a good string you can still post it to https://lowhash.com, programatically via a post request or manually by pasting it into the input box at the website.

https://lowhash.com is currently interested in collecting strings which are relatively short, 256 characters or less.
