How To Install triehash on Kali Linux

Introduction

In this tutorial we learn how to install triehash on Kali Linux.

What is triehash

triehash is:

TrieHash generates perfect hash functions as C code which then gets compiled into optimal machine code as part of the usual program compilation.

TrieHash works by translating a list of strings to a trie, and then converting the trie to a set of recursive switch statements; first switching by length, and then switching by bytes.

TrieHash has various optimizations such as processing multiple bytes at once (on GNU C), and shortcuts for reducing the complexity of case-insensitive matching (ASCII only). Generated code performs substantially faster than gperf, but is larger.

TrieHash was written for use in APT.

There are three methods to install triehash on Kali Linux. We can use apt-get, apt and aptitude. In the following sections we will describe each method. You can choose one of them.

Install triehash Using apt-get

Update apt database with apt-get using the following command.

sudo apt-get update

After updating apt database, We can install triehash using apt-get by running the following command:

sudo apt-get -y install triehash

Install triehash Using apt

Update apt database with apt using the following command.

sudo apt update

After updating apt database, We can install triehash using apt by running the following command:

sudo apt -y install triehash

Install triehash Using aptitude

If you want to follow this method, you might need to install aptitude on Kali Linux first since aptitude is usually not installed by default on Kali Linux. Update apt database with aptitude using the following command.

sudo aptitude update

After updating apt database, We can install triehash using aptitude by running the following command:

sudo aptitude -y install triehash

How To Uninstall triehash on Kali Linux

To uninstall only the triehash package we can use the following command:

sudo apt-get remove triehash

Uninstall triehash And Its Dependencies

To uninstall triehash and its dependencies that are no longer needed by Kali Linux, we can use the command below:

sudo apt-get -y autoremove triehash

Remove triehash Configurations and Data

To remove triehash configuration and data from Kali Linux we can use the following command:

sudo apt-get -y purge triehash

Remove triehash configuration, data, and all of its dependencies

We can use the following command to remove triehash configurations, data and all of its dependencies, we can use the following command:

sudo apt-get -y autoremove --purge triehash

Dependencies

triehash have the following dependencies:

• perl
