Generate the HASH value based on various different algorithms, or starting from a known string, and compare it to a previous one to check file integrity. #Generate Hash #Compare Hash #Hash Generator #Hash #Checksum #Compare
Every file on your computer has a built-in code that is used to determine integrity and authenticity. These aren’t normally visible, but with the help of specialized applications like Alternate HASH Generator, you can easily grab them, and even have them compared for better analysis.
The application takes only a little while to get installed, and you’re able to check out the set of features in no time at all. On the visual side of things, features are stored in a compact main window, wrapped around a classic frame, making everything intuitive even for inexperienced individuals.
Since the application is used to determine the checksum of files, there’s no specific type you need to use. Adding a file can be done either by dragging it over the appropriate field, writing down the full path, or relying on the built-in browse dialog to pick. Batch processing is not supported, so you only get to process one file at a time.
Alternate HASH Generator can be used to determine an impressive array of checksum types. The algorithm drop-down menu is where you get to choose from MD2, MD4, MD5, several variations of SHA-1 and SHA-2, KECCAK in different bits, AK, BKDR, DEK, DJB, ELF, JS, PJW, RS, as well as SDBM.
At the press of a button, the hash code is instantly shown in a dedicated field, with the possibility to have it sent to clipboard. The application can generate hash according to a string you manually need to write down.
There’s an additional expected value field that can be used to check the state of a file at different times. This helps you determine whether or not the target file suffered any changes, but the prompt only states if hash codes are identical or not.
Taking everything into consideration, we can say that Alternate HASH Generator is a lightweight application that manages to live up to expectations by providing an intuitive workspace in which to analyze files according to hash values. Although there’s no context menu integration for an even easier approach, the overall process is easy to grasp, and quickly finished.
