  • In Windows, you do not need to download any third-party software to verify the integrity and authenticity. Instead, you can use a command in PowerShell to view the hash value. Verification of SHA checksum ensures that you have a file that has not been tampered with or corrupted. As a computer user or a System Administrator, it is important to use these safeguards for ultimate cybersecurity.
    Commands used:
    Get-FileHash {file_location}
    Get-FileHash {file_location} | Format-List

    If your machine is on Linux or macOS, you can also verify the SHA file checksum using a pre-installed package. Please watch my video on that item here: ua-cam.com/video/UiKGriNXcuE/v-deo.html

    Thanks, this is just what I was looking for! And the hash is good! :)

    Thank you. I just did it and the Hash is different from the checksum that is at the site. What do I do?

      If the SHA checksum is different from what the original publisher of the software posted, that means either your downloaded file is corrupted or a "man in the middle" may have changed the file. If it is later that could also means the file contains a virus or malicious code. I would not be comfortable installing any program/software file that doesn't match with the published SHA.

    Hi, where i can find sha value table for windows server and 10

      Did you mean the SHA checksums? They should be listed on the Microsoft website. Typically on the .ISO download page. If not, you may try Google searching for SHA values for the particular file. But make sure to obtain the value from an official source because otherwise we defat the purpose of checking it.

    Why don't you use tab key for file name auto completion.

      I forced myself sometimes to not to use it just to show new users and students we can type all out. But yes, using tab is the most efficient way of doing this. I just posted my next video on how we can do the SHA check on Linux and I used a bit of tabbing: ua-cam.com/video/UiKGriNXcuE/v-deo.html
