Hasher

To ensure that the files you're about to use are genuine and unaltered, it's essential to perform a quick hash test. This will confirm their authenticity and integrity, giving you peace of mind that the files are safe to use.

Hasher is a lightweight utility that provides a simple and straightforward way to test and determine the authenticity and integrity of the files you want to open.

The application is portable, so all you don’t need to install or bother with configurations. Simply decompress the archive and launch the tool to get started. In case you want to add the app to context menu in the ‘Send to’ command of File Explorer, then you have a batch script file for this purpose. There is also a similar uninstaller, in case you change your mind.

The interface is user-friendly and includes a single window where you can add the file you want to test for integrity along with its known hash checksum. You can only add one file at a time and you can see the results in the lower box. The app supports multiple hash algorithms, including MDF (128-bit) and various SHA (256-bit), so make sure to select the right one before proceeding.

The tool could lend a hand to professionals who typically handle a lot of similar files daily, such as a software developer creating packages or a system administrator who wants to check the critical system files. Nevertheless, it works just as good for regular users who download files from the Internet, as it can help avoid malware and dealing with corrupted files.   

Regardless of whether you are a software developer, system administrator or a curious user who wants to make sure that their files have not been tampered with, Hasher is a program that may be worth a try.
