GtkHash

GtkHash is a desktop utility for computing message digests or checksums. Most well-known hash functions are supported, including MD5, SHA1, SHA2 (SHA256/SHA512), SHA3 and BLAKE2.

It's designed to be an easy to use, graphical alternative to command-line tools such as md5sum.

Some interesting features:

  • Support for verifying checksum files from sfv, sha256sum, etc.
  • Keyed hashing (HMAC)
  • Parallel/multi-threaded hash calculation
  • Remote file access using GIO/GVfs
  • File manager integration
  • Small and fast, written in C

Required Dependencies

  • GTK+ 3 or 2
  • GLib

Optional Dependencies

  • Libgcrypt (default)
  • libb2 (default)
  • Nettle
  • OpenSSL
  • mbed TLS
  • mhash
  • Linux Kernel Crypto (AF_ALG)

GtkHash attempts to select the fastest available hash function implementations at startup. See ./configure --help for a full list of options. Build dependencies are not detected implicitly or "automagically".

File Manager Extensions

  • Caja (MATE)
  • Nautilus (GNOME)
  • Nemo (Cinnamon)
  • Peony (UKUI)
