This video will show you how to use Windows 10 and PowerShell together to check a file hash against another hash and help you check the Integrity of your file. Make sure it's secure and not corrupt. Check various different hashes on Windows 10. It's a great tool to know how to use to make sure your files that you download is secure if a hash is available from the website that you downloaded it from.

Nik, this video is now 3 years old and still benefiting people. Thanks for more than just a demonstration that many similar videos offer, but for the clear and concise explanations to go with it! Now I understand the "what," the "how," and the "why." Fantastic video! Subbed

@SavvyNik Жыл бұрын

Thanks. But if the site doesn’t supply the hash there’s really have no option to trust it.

@pyrocali68 2 ай бұрын

I am trying to do this procedure but having problems. I don't know where I could be making a mistake. Could you please give me a hand? I have two files that I need to verify this hash data as I strongly suspect the files (MP4 video) have been tampered with. I have what the hash should be from the audit logs. The files are roughly 1.4 gigs each and show the same event but in different fields of view/resolutions. I have the audit logs with what should be the hash values for both files.

By the way Make sure to add Quotation Marks on the file directory like this: Get-FileHash "C:\Folder Name\Disc.iso" -Algorithm SHA256 Because sometimes without it doesn't work without quotation marks.

You have the best tutorial. What if my file is in a zip folder? I thought the Merlin forum said to be sure to checksum before unzipping? Also, I got "false"..there's soo many downloads but only one checksum hash for each router model download.

@SavvyNik 3 жыл бұрын

The zip file should contain a check sum as well.

@mmcjolson 2 жыл бұрын

Wonderfully explained! I really like how you can use this to verify your hash (around 6:07). I was trying things out and I saw that you could create hashes for each individual file in a folder by adding the folder path instead of just one file. Is it possible to verify the entire folder? Thanks!

@SavvyNik 2 жыл бұрын

Glad you enjoyed the explanation! Yes, there's a way for an entire folder but it's easier for individual files. I would suggest creating a compressed (zip) file of your directory and then the same rules should apply from individual files on your zipped file. Making it easy to get a hash.

Is it enough to just check SHA-1 to verify a file? Or do I need to check SHA-256 aswell?

@SavvyNik 3 жыл бұрын

It has to match the specific type of hash. They are all different from each other. Whatever you have available to check against should be the one you use on the file.

@Anon76523 3 жыл бұрын

SavvyNik Thanks for the reply. I’m testing Windows Installation ISOs and can only find SHA-1 to test if it’s legit. The SHA-1 matches but was just wondering if that’s enough to judge the safety of the ISO

@@Anon76523 yes that should be more than enough imo. SHA1 is a 160bit encryption.. that mean if even one of the 160bits have changed you wouldn't have a match.
