Shake

Shake is an Extendable Output Function (XOF) of the SHA-3 hash algorithm, part of the Keccak family, allowing for variable output length/size. Shake lives in the Hashing category of the fx menu.

Parameters

Parameter	Type	Required	Default	Description
Input	string	yes	—	Value to transform. Previous step output or a literal.
Capacity	string	no	256	Choose one of: 256, 128.
Size	number	no	512	Numeric value. Default 512.

Input is the primary value (previous step output or a literal).

Returned value

Type	Description
string	Result of the Shake transformation.

Limitations

• This operation treats Input as raw bytes (binary-capable). Non-text payloads may display differently after decoding.
• Wrong key, algorithm options, or malformed input typically raises an evaluation error — fix Input or options before re-running.

Example

Run Shake

Shake is an Extendable Output Function (XOF) of the SHA-3 hash algorithm, part of the Keccak family, allowing for variable output length/size. Adjust optional parameters when the defaults do not match your payload.

1. Set Input to the value to transform (previous step output or a literal).

2. Review Capacity, Size and keep defaults unless your format requires otherwise.

3. Confirm Output value shows the transformed result.
