HashCheck
A Windows shell extension that adds file checksum verification to Explorer context menus, supporting multiple hash algorithms.
What is HashCheck?
HashCheck is a Windows shell extension that adds file checksum verification capabilities to Windows Explorer's context menu. It allows users to compute cryptographic hashes (MD5, SHA-1, SHA-2, SHA-3) for files and verify their integrity against checksum files. The project extends the original HashCheck from code.kliu.org with additional algorithms and performance improvements.
Windows users and system administrators who need to verify file integrity, detect corrupted downloads, or validate software packages through checksum verification.
HashCheck provides seamless integration with Windows Explorer, eliminating the need for separate command-line tools or applications for checksum verification. Its multithreaded implementation offers faster performance than many alternatives while supporting a wide range of hash algorithms.
