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.
