Hey Max. You could just ZIP the directory...
Ahh.. but would the hash of the .ZIP cover *all* the relevant meta-data that you'd want covered by the hash? First place to check would be stuff like access/create/modify timestamps, which Zip has at least a theoretical snowball's chance of covering. More problematic is whether the hash covers the block allocation information (which can be pretty important if the analysis hinges on slack space scavenging and related issues). For that matter, I'm not sure hashing the directory itself will preserve that info....
