Two common methods of Windows checksum file hashing

Hashtab Tool Checksum Hash

This article we are the first to Hashtab Third-party tools, Hashtab is a super fast file hash checksum calculation tool, currently used by users in more than 200 countries. Hashtab can provide a variety of hashing algorithms, such as: MD5, SHA1, SHA2, RIPEMD, HAVAL, and Whirlpool. Once installed, the Hashtab feature can be integrated into the Windows Shell to allow users to verify the integrity and authenticity of the file in the simplest way.

After installing the Hashtab tool it will automatically embed into the properties, we can only use the file to verify the right click on the selection of properties and then click on the Hashtab tab will be used directly, is currently supported to the Windows 10 operating system.

As shown in the figure above, clicking the option button pops up the hashtab option configuration interface, where we can manually configure the hash algorithm that needs to be computed.

　PowerShell Checksum Hash

Without installing any third party software, we can also use Powershell to verify the hash value of multiple algorithms in Windows directly, including: SHA1, SHA256, SHA384, SHA512, MACTripleDES, MD5, RIPEMD160 algorithm.

It is also very simple to use, you can refer to the following examples:
