ExactFile

Every file has some pieces of code which are only readable, or at least comprehensive to a computer. This help determine whether or not a file is corrupt, with various types of code by which to test this. In this regard, ExactFile provides the means to analyze different file types in order to determine checksum code to use in your projects.

The main window holds all controls needed to create checksums, and test them out. A side navigation panel makes it easy to browse through categories like fingle file checksums, digest creation, and testing, benchmarking, and creating test file applet.

When performed on a single file, you have the liberty to load any kind of format simply by dropping the target file over the main window. Quite an impressive variety of Hash methods are at your disposal, such as Adler32, MD2 to 5, SHA1, SHA256, SHA384, SHA512, RIPEMD128, RIPEMD160, TIGER128, TIGER160, TIGER192, and GOST.

Results are almost instantly shown in an output window, which allows you to copy all values at the press of a button, and paste them wherever needed. In a similar manner, hash analysis can be initiated for an entire folder, with options to include subfolders, full paths in output, as well as the method and format to use.

The digest creates a log file in a custom location. What’s more, you can test it through a dedicated component, which shows any possible errors, and lets you copy results. Down in the settings panel, there’s the possibility to set the number of threads to use for computing checksums. This is especially handy for benchmarking, so you don’t put too much pressure on your CPU.

All things considered, we can safely state that ExactFile is a powerful checksum calculator with support for an abundance of different hash calculation techniques. Log files show all selected methods, and codes, while test procedures help easily determine integrity of files.
