HASH-verify
Verify file hashes of downloaded files easily in a GUI
What it does…
This gui based Python3 app calculates 5 types of file hashes and can evaluate if a hash matches.
This is usable, when you download a file from a webpage. Often you also receive a hash value in order to check that the downloaded file has not been tempered with.
Supported hash types:
- MD5
- SHA1
- SHA256
- SHA512
- SHA3_256
A progressbar from 0% - 100% will show the actual status of the triggered verification. This is very useful when bigger files (e.g. 1GB) are verfied or verification is being processed on slower machines.
Running the app
- Python3
- pip3 install PySimpleGUI
- apt install python3-tkinter
