called, HashMyFiles. The software is
Microsoft Windows compatible and
runs relatively efficiently. A 4-gigabyte
(GB) lidar file is hashed in under four
minutes, and files under 1 GB are
done so almost instantly. The program
generates six hash codes, including
SHA1, MD5, CRC32 (which can also be
generated by Windows 10), SHA-256,
SHA-512, and SHA-384. The report
also tracks the full path name of the
file, as well as several other attributes
of each file. The output report is in a
standard ASCII format that can be
copy and pasted into either a simple
text document or an Excel spreadsheet.
In this example, I added an entire
folder containing 150 files in five
subfolders (844 MB of Esri shapefiles, GeoDatabases .JPG
image files, etc.), and checked the “Add files in subfolders”
box on the navigation screen because there were Esri file
Geodatabases in the directory, and started the processing.
Name and store the Excel spreadsheet along with your project, and you now have a secure
chain-of-custody to protect your work. I’ll be happy to send you a ZIPped archive containing
the NirSoft freeware, a little ReadMe document, and an Excel template.
