MD5 Checksum

Lots of ways to generate md5 checksum for a file. Easier to do on Linux than Windows. Just run md5sum.

Normally, I would download and install software like:

• HashTab (http://implbits.com/products/hashtab/)
• HashCheck (http://code.kliu.org/hashcheck/)
• HashMyFiles (http://www.nirsoft.net/utils/hash_my_files.html)
• Summer Properties (http://www.frozenlogic.org/summerproperties.shtml), or
• File Checksum Integrity Verifier (http://download.microsoft.com/download/c/f/4/cf454ae0-a4bb-4123-8333-a1b6737712f7/Windows-KB841290-x86-ENU.exe) from Microsoft itself.

If your system is locked down with no admin rights to install new software, try the built-in CertUtil utility in Windows.
Syntax: certUtil -hashfile pathToFileToCheck [HashAlgorithm], where HashAlgorith can be MD2 MD4 MD5 SHA1 SHA256 SHA384 SHA512
