• New topic in AskWoody Knowledge Base: Verifying Checksums

    Posted on July 7, 2017 at 22:50 CDT by • Comment in the Forums

    In the last few days, we have added another post to the Askwoody Knowledge Base: AKB1000006 is a primer on Checksum Verification, designed to help those new to using checksums for verify downloaded files.

    While many of our readers are already doing that routinely, there may be some for whom this is all new and mysterious, even though its practice is sometimes mentioned here on AskWoody.com. With the possibility of installing a corrupted, accidentally altered or deliberately tampered-with file, it makes sense to check first where that is possible. The topic also mentions how to check digital signatures on files.

    And like all our Knowledge Base topics, it is included on the Knowledge Base Listing page, for easy reference.
