Usage OF File Integrity Checker

• FileArmour also contains an useful file integrity
  checker tool. To understand why you require a
  file integrity checker, consider the following
  scenarios.
• When you download a file from Internet, how can
  you verify that your downloaded file has not been
  tampered with or replaced with a malicious
  software?
• Similarly, when you send a file on an unsecured
  channel, how can the recipient verify that the
  file has not been corrupted in transit. This is
  where a file integrity checker comes into play.

How Does a File Integrity Checker Work?

• Now that we have understood what is hashing, let
  us see how does a file integrity checker work.
  Many sites that offer software downloads (for
  e.g. http//apache.org/) publish the hash value
  associated with the file being downloaded. After
  you have downloaded the file, you run it through
  a file integrity checker that performs a hash on
  the contents of the file. If the output produced
  by the hash function exactly matches the hash
  value published on the website, you can conclude
  that the file has not been altered during
  download.
