# Keccak-512 hash (`keccak512hash`)

Digest of the original Keccak-512 hash function (512 bits). It differs from the standardized SHA3-512, which uses different padding. It is written as 128 hexadecimal digits. Other 512-bit digests (SHA-512, SHA3-512, BLAKE2b-512 and Streebog-512) have the same length, so the value alone does not tell them apart: use the field name or context.

## Detection

Regular expression (Python `re`):

```
^[0-9a-fA-F]{128}$
```

## Examples

- `0eab42de4c3ceb9235fc91acffe746b29c29a8c366b7c60e4e67c466f36a4304c00fa9caf9d87976ba469bcbe06713b435f091ef2769fb160cdab33d3670680e` — Keccak-512 hash of the empty string
- `18587dc2ea106b9a1563e32b3312421ca164c7f1f07bc922a9c83d77cea3a1e5d0c69910739025372dc14ac9642629379540c17e2a65b19d77aa511a9d00bb96` — Keccak-512 hash of the string 'abc'
- `0eab42de4c3ceb9235fc91acffe746b29c29a8c366b7c60e4e67c466f36a4304c00fa9caf9d87976ba469bcbe06713b435f091ef2769fb160cdab33d3670680` (invalid example) — one hex digit short (127 instead of 128)
