Tried to run your code to hash a
a= "00baf6626abc2df808da36a518c69f09b0d2ed0a79421ccfde4f559d2e42128" #b"# CHAINS SHORTER at 2128_
gives the correct value (compared to hashlib) but
if I try to hash a= "00baf6626abc2df808da36a518c69f09b0d2ed0a79421ccfde4f559d2e42128b" it provides a wrong hash value, got lost on the code so I thought I'd better ask you.

I assume 00baf662… is considered as bytestring input to the hash algorithm. In this case, I store the source code of my gist in sha.py and run the following testcase:

>>> def f(content):
...     import hashlib
...     h = hashlib.sha256()
...     h.update(content)
...     return h.hexdigest()
... 
>>> def g(content):
...     import sha
...     h = sha.SHA256()
...     h.update(content)
...     return h.hexdigest()
... 
>>> inp = b"00baf6626abc2df808da36a518c69f09b0d2ed0a79421ccfde4f559d2e42128"
>>> f(inp)
'331f3d1a715ed0104af043d5705ab22bf3311d098814ffbc52a3029e448d8121'
>>> g(inp)
'331f3d1a715ed0104af043d5705ab22bf3311d098814ffbc52a3029e448d8121'
>>> f(inp) == g(inp)
True

As can be seen, the hexdigests match. As such, I cannot reproduce your problem. Did you purposefully assign the same value to a twice in your message?

Hey. Previous comment is correct. I am not yet sure whats the flaw here - but it is the same as with @thomdixon's pysha2 implementation (your gist is based on). If you add one more (64th) character or more to your inp byte string and run the same testcase again - it will unfortunately fail...

@daugela @prokls

This issue was brought up on my repository here: thomdixon/pysha2#6

The error is in this gist's update method. If len(m) == 64 then the update loop becomes:

for i in range(0, 64 // 64):
  self._compress(m[64 * i:64 * (i + 1)])
  self._cache = m[-64 % 64):]

which simplifies to:

self._compress(m[0:64])

# this will cause the finalization (digest() method) to include the previous message, 
# because we set m = self._cache + m in the update() method
self._cache = m[0:] 

To fix this, you can e.g., add an if before storing the _cache:

if len(m) % 64:
  self._cache = m[-(len(m) % 64):]

or you can keep the spirit of the original and process the data as a buffer with a white loop, so that it handles the boundary correctly:

def update(self, m):
    if not m:
        return

    self._cache += m
    self._counter += len(m)

    while len(self._cache) >= 64:
        self._compress(self._cache[:64])
        self._cache = self._cache[64:]

The annoying part of this code is the lack of comments.

@thomdixon Thanks for the details and the fix! I applied to last one to a new revision

@CesarCastellonE Thanks, now I was able to reproduce it!

@manuelinfosec Not sure what you mean. The algorithm and its subroutines themselves are well-documented → https://nvlpubs.nist.gov/nistpubs/FIPS/NIST.FIPS.180-4.pdf I am not sure what you are looking for.
