EasyHash

EasyHash is a handy little app for Mac that helps you check file integrity. But what exactly does that mean? Well, let's break it down! A digest, also known as a hash, is like a fingerprint for your files. It's a big number that sums up everything in the file.

Understanding File Integrity

So why do you need this hash? It's super useful for checking if your file is intact. If the digest of your copy matches the original file's digest, you're in the clear! That means your file is probably good to go. But if they don't match? Uh-oh! That likely means something went wrong with your copy of the file and it could be damaged.

How EasyHash Works

EasyHash, previously called EasyMD5, makes it super easy to calculate MD5 and SHA-1 digests for any file. Just drag and drop your file onto the app, and voilà! A window pops up showing both the MD5 and SHA-1 digests right there.

Copying Your Digests

You can easily grab either digest and paste it wherever you need—maybe into an email or even an HTML document.

The Tech Behind EasyHash

Now, here's something cool: EasyHash doesn't do all this calculating by itself. It uses OpenSSL, which is an open-source library that provides both MD5 and SHA-1 functions along with some other neat features. The best part? OpenSSL comes pre-installed on Mac OS X, so no extra downloads are needed!
