This is done by calculating the hash of every selected file in the first run of the application and comparing that initial hash value with the hash that was calculated at a later time. The file has been modified if the hash values do not match.

The software program does not act automatically. The user has to select files or folders that he wants to calculate hash values for. Once they are stored in the database it is possible to check the files at anytime to see if the file has been changed in the meantime.

A set of 21 different hash algorithms including popular algorithms like MD5, SHA-512 or CRC-32 is available and at the user’s disposal. Results can be saved or loaded so that they are available whenever they are needed.

Other interesting options include Windows Shell integration, a command line version, drag and drop support, Unicode support or search and grep using regular expressions. All in all a very sophisticated tool to check the file integrity of selected files.
