File Hash Generator Utility

Key Features of File Hash Generator

• File Hash Generator is a cryptographic checksum utility designed to verify file integrity.
• When downloading software or transferring critical data, it is important to ensure the file has not been corrupted or tampered with.
• This tool calculates the unique "fingerprint" (hash) of any file using standard algorithms like MD5, SHA-1, SHA-256, and CRC32.
• Users can drag and drop a file into the window to generate its hash string instantly.
• The software also allows users to paste a "known good" hash (from a developer\'s website) to compare it against the local file.
• If the hashes match (green), the file is authentic; if they differ (red), the file is corrupted or altered.
• The tool supports batch processing, allowing users to generate a list of hashes for an entire directory.
• This is useful for creating a "snapshot" of a folder state to detect unauthorized changes later.
• It is a fundamental tool for security-conscious users and system administrators.
