Redge,

I added MD5 Checksums for the zip files too.

ok, checked is OK
but MD5 is not sure, collision is possible, better authenticity now with SH3

Redge,

You always want more!

Do you have a SHA Checker you're using? Does anybody? I'll need something to test with I guess.

I use HashTab (MD5, SHA1, CRC-32), personally.

Ares,

Thanks for the info. I think both MD5 and SHA-1 are considered "broken" at this point. I noticed last night that RedHat has moved to SHA-2 using something called sha2sum but I can't seem to find it yet.

No, no, I'm just surprised because MD5 was not sure, and can be different after 1 hour.

No, I don't know, but Ares give already the free solution

If you need a hash summer that does directories and subdirectories, here's two command-line tools that can do the job:

Also freeware. I can't find one with a GUI, like md5summer - my personal favorite, before MD5 was broken.

Ares,

Thanks! I need one without a GUI so I can script it. One of these should fit the bill!
