This utility is intended to help users quickly verify file integrity through checksum calculations. There is support for multiple popular hashing algorithms.
HashTab
HashTab is a Windows program that generates and compares hash values of individual items. This enables you to check whether a package has been altered, corrupted or tampered with during network transfer.
How it works
After installing the software users can view the hash sum of a specific file in a new tab added to the Properties menu. It is possible to access multiple values calculated through different algorithms such as:
- CRC32;
- MD5;
- SHA256 and many more.
Such versatility guarantees compatibility with the most common verification standards and practices related to various industries. Similar to HJSplit, you are able to check virtually any package regardless of its format.
Comparison
There is an option to directly paste a reference sum into the corresponding input field, checking if it matches the calculated hash value. This significantly simplifies the verification of downloaded files and helps detect unwanted changes or corruption without manually analyzing lengthy alphanumeric combinations. As a result, users can save time and increase the overall workflow efficiency, especially when dealing with large amounts of files.
