Import a text file of Hash values into a EnCase hash set.

In July, I posted an EnScript that I wrote to import a text file containing the name, size and hash value of file(s) into a EnCase hash set (You can read it here).

I have modified the EnScript to import a simple text file containing just hash values. This was based on a request by a reader and it was a simple chage to make. This new version now imports a simple ASCII text file containing one hash value per line:

The EnScript will create a .hash file in your default export folder that can then be copied into your EnCase\Hash Sets\ folder and used inside EnCase.

Lance, I just want to say thanks for making this available. I've been slogging my way through manual creation of Hashkeeper sets for years as a way to get external hashes into EnCase, and that approach is an exercise in tedium.

Your EnScript is EXACTLY what I've needed on many occasions, when clients have provided me with lists of filenames and hashes, without providing the actual files.

Thanks!
