In order to be certain that a downloaded file wasn't tempered with, one should use a hash calculator and comparison app in order to make sure that the hash of the file in question is the same with the original one.
Despite the fact that many such utilities are available as web apps, having a hash calculator app installed on your Mac can be a faster and more productive solution when dealing with large numbers of files.
iHash is a small and straightforward application that helps you check the integrity of any file by generating its hash using an algorithm of your choice and comparing it with the hash provided by the file's distributor.
After you install iHash on your Mac, you can effortlessly and quickly start checking the integrity of your files in three simple ways.
Thus, you can open iHash and drag and drop files onto its main window, or drag and drop the file that needs to be checked directly onto the icon found in the dock.
Moreover, you can also check the integrity of your files by right-clicking them and clicking the “Open file in iHash” option found within Services, in the file’s contextual menu.
IHash supports the following hash algorithms: MD2, MD4, MD5, SHA1, SHA224, SHA 256, SHA384, and SHA512.
What’s more, from within the Preferences menu, you can enable macOS notifications when using the app, as well as activate or deactivate sound notifications to be alerted when a task is over.
Taking all things into consideration, iHash is a user-friendly and reliable application that provides you with a simple way to make sure that your downloaded files haven’t been tempered with and its contents are the exact ones the files' owner uploaded on his web server.
