Recently we released an exclusive AskVG app "Hash Tool" which helps you in calculating and verifying hash codes. If you don't have any idea about hash codes. Here is a small description of hash code:
"Hash Code" is a unique identifier which helps you in validating the integrity of a file. Many times when you download a large file, you can use its hash code to verify whether the file was downloaded correctly or it got corrupted during the transfer process.
Hash code might come very handy when you download a file using a 3rd party uploading website or a mirror website. You can check the downloaded file with the help of its hash code and can determine whether the file is genuine or was modified to put malicious code.
The same idea inspired another AskVG reader "Masroor Aijaz aka jX Gr3At" and he developed another similar tool "Hash Reporter".
"Hash Reporter" is a free and portable tool to calculate and verify hash codes of a file. It doesn't need installation so you can also carry it on your USB drive. You just need to run the EXE file and you are ready to calculate hash codes.
Hash Reporter helps you in calculating following hash codes:
- MD5
- CRC32
- SHA1
- SHA256
- RIPEMD160
It also allows you to export the hash code information to a text file.
You can download it using following link:

Thanks for providing another amazing tool.
But I been using "HashCheck Shell Extension", I think it is easiest and most convenient hash check utility.
If you haven't tried it, just give it a try.
