AS-CRC32

(Mini intro)CRC or Cyclic Redundancy Check is an error decoding code is mainly used by programmers to detect accidental changes to raw data. The data that goes into storage devices and digital networks are verified, and a specific value is attached to it. The values are stored as a reminder, and in the next calculation, if the values don't match, an error pops up, meaning that the data is corrupted. If you need to keep an eye on the integrity of your files, AS-CRC32 can help.

First of all, the application is portable, it doe not require installation and can easily be copied on a CD/DVD or USB flash drive and used on any system. The interface is fairly simple, as it contains two fields for uploading text and files and also four more for CRC32 values.

One single button can be noticed inside the GUI, ''Calculate'' which is used for comparing the values of the given files.

After a file is loaded, a specific value is displayed in the ''CRC32 Value''. You can check the integrity of the spot, and it should display a green ''OK.'' By keeping the CRC32 value, you make sure that over a period, the integrity of the file is not corrupted.

You can write a "Signature file" after processing an item. The file is a CRC extension and can be opened with Total Commander.

To sum it up, AS-CRC32 is a lightweight application that can detect possible data errors in digital networks and storage devices. The app targets a specific work field, programming, although it can be used by other users, only programmers can take full advantage of it. Portability is a great plus, as it needs the only extraction and no registries are written on your system.
