HashIt

 

Hash It is a simple utility designed to calculate hashes from a single, or multiple files.

Usage

Simply drag one or multiples files and drop them onto the main area of the application window. You can select which hashes you want calculated by selecting one or more of the checkboxes in the toolbar.

Background

My day job requires that, every now and then, I transfer files into a secure network. One control we have in place to maintain the integrity of data, are file hashes. We check the hash before and after any file copy into the secure zone. This utility makes that process much simpler and faster.

Note The amount of time required to calculate a file hash depends on two things:

  1. The hash type. The longer the hash the longer it will take to compute. In order from shortest to longest: MD5 , SHA1, SHA2
  2. The size of the file
