SYNOPSIS​

SYNTAX​

Get-StringHash [-Strings] <String[]> [[-Algorithm] <String>] [[-Salt] <String>] [-RandomSalt]
 [[-Iterations] <Int32>] [-ProgressAction <ActionPreference>] [<CommonParameters>]

DESCRIPTION​

Generates a hash of an string object

EXAMPLES​

EXAMPLE 1​

Get-StringHash -Strings 'ThisIsAComplicatedPassword123#' -Algorithm SHA512
Hashes the string specified
