HashTab - easily see the hashes for files

  • Article

While wanting to verify the hash of a dd-wrt firmware I downloaded, I read about this app called HashTab that makes it a simple shell extension.  What a great idea!  The license agreement phase of the install states it simply enough:

I love that you have to click "I Agree" to that statement :)

Now the properties for the file included its hashes :)

Those are just the hashes that are enabled by default, it has many more available!  Here's the set of hashes from the same file when I turned them all on :)

CRC32: D7D7D0DE

Most importantly for me, of course, that matched the hash in the md5sums file:

    Hey James, When I made HashTab, I started with the license agreement. The hashing and the shell extension are merely implementation details of the license agreement. Glad it was useful to you. Cody Batt

    You rock! Where has this been for my whole Windows life? I am SO making this a default/standard part of all my Windows systems. Thanks for posting this (and thanks even more to Cody for writing it!)
