If you want to check the (MD5\/SHA) hash of a file you can do this on Microsoft Windows with “Get-FileHash” within PowerShell.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Here is a simple script to take a File, the Hash Algorithm Type and Expected Hash for the file to compare, it hashes the file and then compares it with the expected hash for the file, if it matches or not it reports this.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
param($FileName,$AlgoType,$CompareHash)\r\n\r\n$hash = Get-FileHash $Filename -algorithm $AlgoType\r\n\r\n$InputHash = $hash.hash\r\n\r\nWrite-Host \"Input Filename:\" $FileName\r\nWrite-Host \"Input File Hash:\" $InputHash.ToLower() \" Expected Hash:\" $CompareHash\" = \" -NoNewline\r\n\r\nif ($InputHash -eq $CompareHash) {\r\n Write-Host \"Hash Matches!\" -ForegroundColor Green\r\n} else {\r\n Write-Host \"No Hash Match!\" -ForegroundColor Red\r\n}<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\nFor example, i’ve downloaded an XOS image for an Extreme Networks switch, if we run the following with the expected hash:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
.\\md5sum.ps1 -FileName '.\\summitX-22.7.5.1-patch1-3.xos' -AlgoType MD5 -CompareHash 34600b5ce116c26841ce8537d2ded620\r<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\nWe get the following:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Input Filename: .\\summitX-22.7.5.1-patch1-3.xos\r\nInput File Hash: 34600b5ce116c26841ce8537d2ded620 Expected Hash: 34600b5ce116c26841ce8537d2ded620 = Hash Matches!<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\nIf the file does not hash to the expected value we get:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
