Why use SHA-3 in the first place? SHA-2 is the current recommended hash function.
SHA-3 is not more "secure" than SHA-2, it was just looking for alternatives to the classic iterated hash function algorithm.
From MD4 to SHA-2, every hash function works in almost the exact same way. SHA-3 has and all the candidates for SHA-3(e.g. MD6) use a different method.
There is no reason to believe it's more secure than SHA-2, in fact it might be less secure simply because it's been used a lot less.
The reason why there's no sha3sum utility or why the openssl cli utility doesn't support it is most likely because nobody uses SHA-3, anywhere.

Because the NSA can CRACK it
nice try shill

Why rob the penthouse when the mail room is on the ground floor?

And why do you believe another NIST standard, SHA-3, is more secure than SHA-2?
This algorithm with barely(compared to iterated hash functions) any cryptanalysis.

Naming it SHA-3 was a mistake, 3 > 2. It's not like that, it's more of a backup hash algorithm. In case tomorrow some cryptographer finds a way to completely break the classic hash algorithm.
As it stands right now, SHA-3 is not recommended for deployment and is just a cryptanalysis playground.
Nobody has broken it, it's just cryptanalysis in progress.
I can't find any cryptographer to actually recommend using this over SHA-2, it's so new that you just can't recommend it.

SHA3 (Keccak) is supposedly faster than SHA2 in hardware, but slower in software. I wonder if it runs well on GPUs.
Daniel Powell
That user is sorta right though, right now in her prime she has a great body but when she ages those tits will fall harder and become sorta disgusting.

It does, ethereum uses a variant of Keccak to verify their blockchain. Which makes (according to ethereum devs) ethereum more egalitarian since btc was dominated by FPGA's. Im to lazy to source this, but I recently though of making my own mining rig using Atmega's SHA chips but then realized they use some variant of Keccak making that method shit.
