This guide explains how to verify that software downloaded from the itefix.net website has not been tampered with and is authentic. To do this, you’ll use checksums provided via a separate server at verify.itefix.net. Following these steps ensures that the software you install is exactly as intended by the developers.
Step 1: Download the Necessary Files
To perform the verification, you need to download the following files for the software version you are using. As an example, we will use version 5.0.2 of the free x64 Wrbldnsd software.
-
The software file:
wrbldnsd_5.0.2_x64_free.zip -
The SHA256 hash file:
wrbldnsd_5.0.2_x64_free.zip.sha256.asc
Step 2: SHA256 Hash Verification
This method uses a cryptographic hash function to create a unique "fingerprint" of the file. If your generated hash matches the one provided by the developer, the file has not been altered.
-
Generate a hash: Use a file integrity tool on your operating system to create a SHA256 hash for the
.zipfile you downloaded. -
Command Examples:
-
On Windows (Command Prompt):
certutil -hashfile "C:\Users\YourUser\Downloads\wrbldnsd_5.0.2_x64_free.zip" SHA256 -
On Linux/macOS (Terminal):
sha256sum /path/to/your/wrbldnsd_5.0.2_x64_free.zip
-
-
Compare the hashes: Open the downloaded
.sha256.ascfile with a text editor. Compare the hash generated by your tool with the hash string inside the file. If they are an exact match, the file is authentic.
