Here is how I would do it. I provide both a “short” solution and a “long” one. 
I would use the “short” solution if I was making for example a developer only 
tool and I knew I was only hashing small things for example a configuration 
file in a build script and want a one-liner. Otherwise I’d use the “long” 
version.

//If the content is guaranteed to be short:
def content = new ByteArrayInputStream("Here be dragons".bytes)
println MessageDigest.getInstance("SHA1").digest(content.bytes).encodeHex()

//If the content might be arbitrarily long:
content = new ByteArrayInputStream("Here be dragons".bytes)
def digest = MessageDigest.getInstance("SHA1")
content.eachByte(4096) { bytes, len ->
  digest.update(bytes, 0, len)
}
println digest.digest().encodeHex()

Hello All,

I have this block, it's pretty compressed, just wondering if there is a more 
groovy way to handle reading the buffer and computing the hash.

        def messageDigest = MessageDigest.getInstance("SHA1")
        def dis = new DigestInputStream(content, messageDigest)
        byte[] buffer = new byte[1024];
        while (dis.read(buffer) != -1) {}
        def sha1Hex = new BigInteger(1, 
messageDigest.digest()).toString(16).padLeft(40, '0')
