HashTFS - File verification utility

HashTFS file verification utility

HashTFS is a program that generates hash values to detect unwanted file changes or unauthorized file copies. HashTFS provides users with a tool to identify changes to files. The program can be used to ensure the integrity of files stored on your PC or on attached (USB) storage devices.

Why perform file verification?

There are several reasons why you would like to know if files have been modified, or not. Modified files could indicate a security breach, a computer virus or infection with ransomware. Identical files could signal (unauthorized) duplicates: copyright violation, license issues etc. By verifying / comparing the checksum of files you can not only tell if a file has been modified, it can also be used to discover identical files.

One way to check if a file has been modified is to calculate a hash value for that file. When the content of the file is altered, its hash value will also change. This also works the other way round: two files that are identical will have the same hash value. HashTFS can calculate the hash value (checksum or digest) for a list of files as well as verify the hash value for tho`se files. This way you can check wether the content of your files has been altered or if your files have been copied.
