How to get file hashes for MD5 SHA1 and CRC32

November 16th, 2008 by admin

You can get file hash information easily by installing HashTab. The Hash algorithms supported are MD5, SHA1 and CRC-32.

HashTab description
A windows shell extension which installs a new tab with file hash information

HashTab is a Windows shell extension which adds a tab called “File Hashes” to the Windows Explorer file properties.

HashTab will allow you to see file hash information.

The tab contains the MD5, SHA1 and CRC-32 file hashes. These are common hashes that are used to verify the integrity and authenticity of files. Many download sites list the MD5 hash along with the download link.

The HashTab makes it very simple for Windows users to check these hashes on any file on the system without using external tools.

HashTab installs a new tab with file hash information and allows you to perform hash comparisons.

What’s new in HashTab 2.1.0:
· Added drag and drop support for comparing files. Once the hash has completed, files can be dragged onto the HashTab. The dropped file will be hashed using the selected hash algorithm and the result is put in the text box and compared. This will make hash comparisons a little easier in some cases.
· Updated translations for German, Japanese, Italian, French.
· Fixed hash settings listbox layout
· Added a “copy all” menu item to copy all hash data to clipboard
· Fixed a problem where you had to hash a file in order to change settings
· Added French translation
· By popular demand, added support for MD2 and MD4 hashes.
· The translation file has been updated for the new UI elements. If you notice untranslated strings in your language, you can help by downloading the translation file, translating the missing strings and sending me the file. Thanks! To update, just download and install as usual. (This is the same file that you download at the top of the page.)
