Basic MD5/SHA1 comparison application

Microsoft has removed the File Checksum Integrity Verifier application from their website, so this is no longer functional - I will be replacing it with an alternative application

About

ChecksumVerify is a simple checksum comparison program written in Python using the Tkinter Graphical User Interface framework and Microsoft's File Checksum Integrity Verifier application, developed for use with Windows 10.

Getting Started

Prerequisites

  • Python 3.6+
  • Microsoft File Checksum Integrity Verifier (FCIV) - link

How It Works

  • ChecksumVerify uses Python's Tkinter module to create a minimal graphical user interface for easy use
  • Microsoft's File Checksum Integrity Verifier (FCIV) is used to generate the MD5 and SHA1 hashes for the entered file
  • The checksums are then compared against given MD5 and SHA1 hashes, and the results are displayed to the user through the GUI
