Nik, this video is now 3 years old and still benefiting people. Thanks for more than just a demonstration that many similar videos offer, but for the clear and concise explanations to go with it! Now I understand the "what," the "how," and the "why." Fantastic video! Subbed
I would like to say, Thank you. You have taken something so complicated by others and made it very simple. I will look through your videos and see if you have videos for Linux and MacOS.
Thanks SavvyNik. I'm not knowledgeable on using shells, so this was the one that finally explained this process allowing me to finally verify the integrity of my ISO files. Much appreciated, and well explained. Subscribed, in hopes of finding more resources in the future.
Thanks for this, have returned a few times, I was downloading a program called handbrake to make some gaming vids smaller, they can get pretty large, this helped out alot :D
By the way Make sure to add Quotation Marks on the file directory like this: Get-FileHash "C:\Folder Name\Disc.iso" -Algorithm SHA256 Because sometimes without it doesn't work without quotation marks.
That was explained in very simple language. Impressive. Thanks. [This is the first time in my whole life I have clicked on bell icon for any youtube channel] However I wish to know, what if I dont find source hash on portal from I downloaded the exe file?
You’re going to have to write a bash script for that. But how do you plan on supplying the individual hashes for each file since they are unique? Or is it the same file just different names
I am trying to do this procedure but having problems. I don't know where I could be making a mistake. Could you please give me a hand? I have two files that I need to verify this hash data as I strongly suspect the files (MP4 video) have been tampered with. I have what the hash should be from the audit logs. The files are roughly 1.4 gigs each and show the same event but in different fields of view/resolutions. I have the audit logs with what should be the hash values for both files.
Wonderfully explained! I really like how you can use this to verify your hash (around 6:07). I was trying things out and I saw that you could create hashes for each individual file in a folder by adding the folder path instead of just one file. Is it possible to verify the entire folder? Thanks!
Glad you enjoyed the explanation! Yes, there's a way for an entire folder but it's easier for individual files. I would suggest creating a compressed (zip) file of your directory and then the same rules should apply from individual files on your zipped file. Making it easy to get a hash.
It has to match the specific type of hash. They are all different from each other. Whatever you have available to check against should be the one you use on the file.
SavvyNik Thanks for the reply. I’m testing Windows Installation ISOs and can only find SHA-1 to test if it’s legit. The SHA-1 matches but was just wondering if that’s enough to judge the safety of the ISO
@@Anon76523 yes that should be more than enough imo. SHA1 is a 160bit encryption.. that mean if even one of the 160bits have changed you wouldn't have a match.
You have the best tutorial. What if my file is in a zip folder? I thought the Merlin forum said to be sure to checksum before unzipping? Also, I got "false"..there's soo many downloads but only one checksum hash for each router model download.

Love to hear it! Glad the algorithm connected us
Wow the explanation was amazing Also for the newbies like me to check the actually file name go to properties and after details there is the full name
Thanks man, i've seen this way over explained and i sincerely appreciate your straight forwardness.
Love to hear it. No problem!
I would like to say, Thank you. You have taken something so complicated by others and made it very simple. I will look through your videos and see if you have videos for Linux and MacOS.
Glad I was able to simply if down. I have plenty of videos on Linux :) so have fun looking around!

Thanks for the sub, glad you learned something!
You're a great teacher. Super explanation!
Thanks, that means a lot =) Glad you liked the video!
This method is much simpler than the one I was able to come up with. Nice!
That's great!
Finally a complete explanation a variety of examples - unlike so many of the other half-a$$ed vids o the topic. Had to subscribe.
Awesome, thank you!
Thank You So Much! You are my hero! I have liked, subscribed, and hit the notification bell.

Great video, thanks @SavvyNik !
You're welcome! Appreciate the kind remark.
Such a clear explanation. Many thanks Nik :)
Glad it was helpful! You're welcome.
Tank you so much, worked well beside some serious PEBKAC.
👍

Thanks. But if the site doesn’t supply the hash there’s really have no option to trust it.
Thank you :) how would you do that for a large amount of files? E.g. checking if a photo collection is valid?
You’re going to have to write a bash script for that. But how do you plan on supplying the individual hashes for each file since they are unique? Or is it the same file just different names

Excellent video, Thanks
Glad you liked it. Thanks
thats but what do you do if it is wrong you try install again or change distro ?
Try to download from another mirror or re-download.
@@SavvyNik I thin k where i live does not like sorce forge i've had a couple that have not worked from there.
@@bradleymaguire7179 That's too bad.. at least you're testing them and finding out that they're corrupt.
I tried to do it with ventoy zip file but I got error saying it doesn't exist the SHA256. I figure out that I forgot to put the .zip at the end.

Great explanation
I found that Get-FileHash produces an output of false even if I am comparing to the hash returned for the file of the same path. Any advice?
Thank You So Much my Hero ! On The Way Subscribed.
Awesome!!! Glad to have you following and subscribed :)
Great help, thank you !
No problem
Is it enough to just check SHA-1 to verify a file? Or do I need to check SHA-256 aswell?
It has to match the specific type of hash. They are all different from each other. Whatever you have available to check against should be the one you use on the file.

What if i cant find my game file brcause its downloaded grom microsoft store
You have the best tutorial. What if my file is in a zip folder? I thought the Merlin forum said to be sure to checksum before unzipping?
Also, I got "false"..there's soo many downloads but only one checksum hash for each router model download.
The zip file should contain a check sum as well.
Thanx for the video. It's really helpfull
Of course, no problem =)
I tried giving the location path and all I got were text in red
Thank you. It's done! :)

How to check for the folders?
You can't check the integrity of a folder. It has to be some sort of a file like a compressed file that contains folders. For example, a zip file.
Thank you!
love you brother.

awesome!
Glad you think so!
tnx
thanks
No Problem!!
woot 😋
woot woot!

Good stuff. I just saw a tutorial on Linux, where they verify the distro with gpg, but they just trust their gpg4win download blindly.
thanks
You're welcome! Glad you liked it!
