md4( input, outputEncoding )
Note
A module with a better and standard API exists.
The crypto module partially implements the WebCrypto API, supporting more features than k6/crypto.
Use md4 to hash input data.
| Parameter | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|
| input | string / ArrayBuffer | The input string or ArrayBuffer object to hash. |
| outputEncoding | string | Describes the type of encoding to use for the hash value. Can be “base64”, “base64url”, “base64rawurl”, “hex” or “binary”. |
Returns
| Type | Description |
|---|---|
| string / Array | The hash digest as string (for “base64”, “base64url”, “base64rawurl”, “hex” outputEncoding) or raw array of integers (for “binary” outputEncoding). |
Example
JavaScript
JavaScript
import crypto from 'k6/crypto';
export default function () {
let hash = crypto.md4('hello world!', 'hex');
console.log(hash);
const binArray = [104, 101, 108, 108, 111, 32, 119, 111, 114, 108, 100, 33];
hash = crypto.md4(new Uint8Array(binArray).buffer, 'hex');
console.log(hash);
}The above script should result in the following being printed during execution:
