|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
`Get-FileHash {{path\to\file}}`

|
|
|
|
2026-08-06 22:19:46 -06:00
|
|
|
`Get-FileHash {{path\to\file}} -Algorithm {{SHA1|SHA256|SHA384|SHA512|MD5}}`
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
- Calculate the checksum for a file using a deprecated algorithm (no longer available in PowerShell 6 or later):
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
`Get-FileHash {{path\to\file}} -Algorithm {{MACTripleDES|RIPEMD160}}`
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
- Check a known checksum of a file:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
`(Get-FileHash {{path\to\file}} -Algorithm {{SHA1|SHA256|SHA384|SHA512|MD5}}).Hash -eq "{{known_hash}}"`
