Description
This utility generates a NSEC3 hash for a given domain name and parameters of NSEC3 hash.
Parameterssalt Specifies a binary salt encoded as a hexadecimal string.
algorithm
Specifies a hashing algorithm by number. Currently, the only supported algorithm is SHA-1 (number
1).
iterations
Specifies the number of additional iterations of the hashing algorithm.
name Specifies the domain name to be hashed.
flags Specifies NSEC3 flags as an unsigned integer.
Options-h, --help
Print the program help.
-V, --version
Print the program version. The option -VV makes the program print the compile time configuration
summary.
Examples
$ knsec3hash 1 0 10 c01dcafe knot-dns.cz
7PTVGE7QV67EM61ROS9238P5RAKR2DM7 (salt=c01dcafe, hash=1, iterations=10)
$ knsec3hash - 1 0 net
A1RT98BS5QGC9NFI51S9HCI47ULJG6JH (salt=-, hash=1, iterations=0)
Exit Values
Exit status of 0 means successful operation. Any other exit status indicates an error.
