Let's imagine a situation in which you have to transfer a certain important file over the Internet or you would like to copy it from a hard disk to another. You want to make sure that the file keeps its integrity after it's copied to the new location. Even though the file looks the same and has the same size, it may get corrupted during the transfer process. Using the IgorWare Hasher application, you can make sure that the file remains the same. That is because this software can check the hash, SHA and MD5 values of any file, no matter its type. If these values remain the same after the file has been copied or moved to another location, then it's clear that it didn't lose its integrity during the process.

IgorWare Hasher is a simple Windows application that doesn't need installing. All that takes to get the program running is to download the archive that contains its executable. After running the program, all the user has to do is to select the files that he wants to check. At this point, IgorWare Hasher will create three different files containing the SHA, MD5 and CRC values. Later on, the user can compare the old values with the new ones and can easily see if the file is corrupted, situation in which the two values are not the same.

The software is compatible with virtually any file type. Besides checking the integrity of files, IgorWare Hasher can also encode a certain piece of text into MD5 and SHA. This is useful for web masters who own a website containing a login form. Using this feature, they can see if the password is correctly encoded by the website.

For making it easier to check the values of files, the program can automatically do this when files are dropped over the interface.

Pros

It can check the MD5 and SHA-1 values of any file, allowing the user to check the integrity of a file. The value for a file can be automatically saved. Besides that, it can encode any piece of text. Furthermore, it allows displaying the values of a file when it's dropped over the interface.

Cons

The software requires some knowledge regarding encoding in order to be better understood. NCollector Studio can display the MD5 and SHA-1 values for every file, allowing the user to check its integrity.
