iHasher© is a lightweight and easy to use hash calculator that shows in real time the result of operations with text, images and files almost instantly. Besides text or images you can get the hash value of almost all types of files like documents, media, video, audio, archive (compressed), binary, executable and many others.
What is a hash value ?
A hash value, also know as checksum acts like a thumbprint for files and are generated using a cryptographic hash algorithm, being used mainly to identify or compare the contents of a file, store passwords safely etc. Hash algorithms are non-reversible one way mathematical functions that produces an alphanumerical value with no way to get back to the original input.
