Checksum and MD5 Calculator/Viewer Tool 

Sep 17, 2009 03:34 PM

Hello all,

When you want to block a software using SEP's application and device control policy, it's best to use the software MD5 hash insteadof its name since users can change the name.

To calculate the MD5 hash of an executable you'll need a tool. Below I attached a free tool which can do that.

I hope it helps,

HashTab provides OS extensions to calculate file hashes. HashTab supports many hash algorithms such as MD5, SHA1, SHA2, RipeMD, HAVAL and Whirlpool. Hashtab is supported as a Windows shell extension and a Mac Finder plugin. HashTab provides an easy way to verify file integrity and authenticity.

Once you have installed HashTab, just right click on any file. On Windows, select properties and you will see a new "File Hashes" tab. On Mac select "File Hashes" (on 10.5 the "File Hashes" menu item will be found under the "More" submenu). This is will start HashTab providing more or less the same view that you see on Windows. This File Hashes window displays all the hashes for the file. You can customize which hashes are calculated and displayed. You can hash other files for comparison. You can also paste in hash text so you don't go cross-eyed trying to compare MD5 hashes.

I have been another nice tool for a long time  called Md5Calc (which was given to me by a friend) which is a free download from http://www.mcrenox.com.ar/downloads/ It weighs about 800 Kilo bytes.

well, it helps some anyways. we've seen that clients get frustrated and stop trying it. then, they don't bother for looking for new versions of the software.

Hi,
This is a great tool indeed. The only downside of it is that it is very specific to one file. In case you need to block for example Skype.exe you will need to create a hash for each version that comes out (like every month). In this case I would prefer to use the name of the file.

FYI. You cannot use it with 16 bit applications. Only for 32 bit apps.

on each SEP client, checksum.exe
You can tell it to scan a dir, or the entire file system.

I created a script last week using FCIV for this very thing. This little exe works much better.

This is going in my "must have" utility list!
