Verify file integrity using Hashing Algorithms from CMD

Check Hash Value using CMD MD5Sum Windows Command Line Windows natively supports the calculation of the hash values or checksums for the following algorithm types: MD5, SHA1, SHA256, SHA384, and SHA512. You can easily find out the hash code of any file on your Windows 10 PC using a command line. If the hash values of two files are identical, the contents of the files are also identical. By default, the Get-File Hash cmdlet uses the SHA256 algorithm, although any hash algorithm that is supported by the target operating system can be used. The purpose of the hashes or hash codes and checksums is the same. Both are used to ensure the integrity of a file via an alphanumeric string. If the uploader of a file has provided that hash for the uploaded file, you can verify it easily. Once you have downloaded the file, you can use a hash checker or MD5 checksum utility to compare the hash signature of the original file and your copy of the file. If the signatures don’t match, it means your copy of the file may have corrupted or has been compromised.
