Download Hash Verifier

The rise in the amount of files shared and transferred online has meant that one has to ensure source items have not been altered in anyway. MD5 or SHA hash checks can be employed towards this end and Download Hash Verifier is just one such simple application.

With it, users can effectively check if anyone has tampered with their downloaded files. The program requires only that one provides a path to the target file, as well as the original MD5, SHA1 or SHA256 values.

Target documents can feature any extension and drag and drop operations are also supported. Once the corresponding hash code is provided, the application automatically checks for matches and both the original and the computed hash values are displayed; this setup allows users to compare the two codes and prevents them from running altered programs.

There are no other settings to adjust and new and experienced users alike should find no problems in quickly analyzing files. Once the analysis is complete, one can export results to an HTML or TXT document of a user-defined destination path.

Overall, the one-windowed application is highly intuitive and easy to use, although it should be noted that particularly large documents will require a lot of time to process.

All things considered, Download Hash Verifier is an asset for anyone who regularly downloads content from the Internet. It can be employed to check for unauthorized tampering with data by comparing original and computed hash values in either MD5 or SHA formats.
