So I’m making a distributed recovery system which consists of a bunch of hidden usb sticks. I plan to have the file be an executable, probably in the form of a appimage, which will contain my encryption software and encrypted volume.
The o… Continue reading Is there a way for a file/binary/exexutable to verify it’s own integrity?
A common way to ensure integrity of a file uploaded from a client is to include the md5 header in the request which can be used by the server for the same.
I would like to know that if a file can be corrupted on its way, then why can’t a h… Continue reading use of md5 for protecting file integrity over http/https call [duplicate]
So I am wondering how I can possibly verify different devices that I purchase. Like when you want to verify a file has not been changed you can verify the checksums. So for example, if I buy a new Android device, a new washer, IoT devices… Continue reading Wondering how to verify devices are still not compromised after reset?
Take an example of AIDE (Advanced Intrusion Detection Environment), it has a capability to scan system file changes based on checksum.
So in AIDE you can see it has this kind of configuration setting in /etc/aide/aide.conf that we can set … Continue reading What is the purpose of using different hash algorithm to detect file changes [duplicate]
Normally, The Document Foundation (TDF) publishes the SHA-256 and SHA-1 hashes, along with the MD5 checksum, for all LibreOffice releases. For example, see this.
However, for their current release (v7.1.4), TDF did not publish any hashes … Continue reading When file hash not available, how to best check authenticity of a file?

I am generating random OTP-style strings that serve as a short-term identifier to link two otherwise unrelated systems (which have authentication at each end). These need to be read and re-entered by users, so in order to reduce the error … Continue reading Picking a check digit algorithm
When downloading a Linux installer iso, the user is supposed to check the iso with sha or m5sum and compare the result against a checksum file, and then check the gpg signature of the checksum file.
If I understand it right, the checksum i… Continue reading Why aren’t installer isos gpg signed?
Pretty straightforward question. Take the image here:

Does it come with a checksum, which I can verify against after I have fully downloaded the file?
This question goes for any file downloaded, and in my pa… Continue reading Do all files downloaded from the web, come with a checksum to verify the file?
