Hey, A while back I mentioned an app that can compare files, this worked by comparing the hash of a file, essentially its make up at the byte level. This means, even though two files that are the same size in terms of bits, will be different because of the order of those bits generate a different hash number.
Nov 02, 2017 How to show the hash for a file. If you want to verify a hash visually – that is, just see the hash and check if it's the same – macOS provides command line-based tools to show hashes for all sorts of hashing algorithms. To show a SHA256 hash: shasum -a 256 filenames To show a SHA1 hash: shasum -a 1 filenames To show an MD5 hash: md5 -r.
Launch HashCompare application on your system. Select 2 files by clicking on Browse button or Simply Drag and Drop a file or Directly type the full file path in the edit box. You can also drag & drop 2 files at once. Next select one of the HASH algorithm and cilck on 'Compare Files' button.

Mac users can use the built-in Terminal app to check a file’s checksum which means no third-party app download is required. Once it shows you the checksum for your file, you can then go ahead and compare it with the one that the source website has given you to.

The program can not be downloaded: the download link is not available.External download links have become invalid for an unknown reason.Sorry, but we cannot ensure safeness of third party websites.

Hey,

A while back I mentioned an app that can compare files, this worked by comparing the hash of a file, essentially its make up at the byte level. This means, even though two files that are the same size in terms of bits, will be different because of the order of those bits generate a different hash number. This is very useful in comparing different files and ensuring you are working with the right file. All you have to do is compare the hashes of the two files and if they match you are good to go. Today’s post will show you how you generate MD5 and SHA-1 hashes in Terminal.

Generating MD5

The first stage is to open up Terminal and type the following to generate an MD5 hash.

md5

Then either type the file name and/or path, or better yet drop the file from Finder into the Terminal window, ensure there is a space after the md5. This will generate an ouput similar to the following:

md5 file.png MD5 (file.png) = 251b5c95860dca0b07b15e927fc0cc84

Mac Vs Hash

Very simple.

Generating SHA-1

Now, there is a better hash function called SHA-1, that produces a more accurate hash of the file you are wanting to check. To generate an SHA-1 file you need to use openssl, which should be installed on your Mac by default. To generate an SHA-1 hash type in the following, followed by the path to the file, or the file dropped onto the Finder window:

openssl sha1

For example:
openssl sha1 file.png SHA1(file.png)= ba45256be13be6d30361e4541c5dfbe381c1c3be

Notice the longer number, you can use openssl for md5, just enter md5 instead of sha1.

This tip is very useful if you want to compare the hashes of the files you have downloaded from the Apple downloads page, for example this page has a hash at the bottom which you can compare to the one you have created for the file on your computer.

Multiple Files

If you want to generate hashes for multiple files, its really simple. The best method is to use Finder and openssl. In Finder type the command you want for the hash function you want to run (eg openssl sha1) and then drop all of the files you want to generate hashes for on to the Terminal window from Finder. Terminal will run through each file and output the hash function.

The hash function will take some time if you have massive files, but will quickly run on smaller files. I use this when I upload files to my server, or move them around on various networks, to ensure both files are exactly the same.
