Sometimes you just want to understand how an algorithm works, so you implement it yourself.
The sha2 function in shamwow.rb implements the SHA-256 hashing function in Ruby. shamwow_test.rb contains a few sanity tests for the right-rotate function and for SHA2 itself, testing against the output of the `Digest::SHA2.hexdigest` method in the Ruby standard library.
It should go without saying that this was just for fun, and you should never, ever roll-your-own cryptography primatives for any reasonable purpose!
This was fun.
