The simple way is to verify file integrity using SHA-1 hash or another. You need to compare the checksum of that file to the hash of the original file. In order to do that, you will need a checksum tool. I would like to introduce you a small utility named HashCalc. The strength of this tool is to support multiple types of cryptographic hash such as MD5, MD4, SHA1, SHA256, SHA384, SHA512, RIPEMD160, PANAMA, TIGER, MD2, ADLER32, CRC32\u2026 You can get HashCalc tool here.Using HashCalc to verify the authenticity of a fileStep 1: Open HashCalc tool and select the file you want to verify.If your file is too big, this may take a while.Step 2: Compare to the hash of source file.     (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});*Note:* If any discrepancies are found, the file can\u2019t be used because of being corrupted.If you would have any questions or concerns, please leave your comments. I would be glad to explain in more details.
