    This is not a built-in function. Possibly(?) you could accomplish it in a Code function. Would depend heavily on if you could do it with base Typescript (JS) functions, or require external libraries (not good)

    From what i can gather (1st time ever running across it), it seems like a pretty simple function. A Code function would not be required. Assuming you have `srcIp`, `dstIp`, `proto`, `srcPort`, `dstPort` and a seed value, very straightforward to do this with Eval: `cidfh` => `C.Mask.sha1(seed + srcIp + dstIp + proto + 0 + srcPort + dstPort,16)`

    <@ULBGHDPNY&gt; Any potential for this to be included in future releases of Cribl? This seems to be a common function that would be really useful for customers
