    Hi to All,
    I'm looking for a freeware very simple SHA1 cheker/verifier command line portable version utility (one that does not installs or does not need be installed first to be used in command line mode) with following basic features:
    - be executed in command line (no GUI at all).
    - the SHA1 expected value be passed textually in
    command line or read from a single text file
    containning the sHA1 value text.
    - returns a result code (if equal as expected or not).

    example of expected usage something like (in command line):
    sha1chekerutility.exe filetobecheked expectedSHA1hashvalue
    or
    sha1chekerutility.exe filetobecheked expectedSHA1hashTEXTFILE

    I'm looking in internet but til now has not been succesfull to find one that meets my requirements.
    Does somebody knows one?

    Thanks,
    SilvMax.

    MS FCIV does not read simple text file. It only reads `xml` based 64. So to prepare the hash you need first encode and then prepare a xml file to be passed to command.

    SlavaSoft - I will check it.

    Thanks.

    I give a fast look in it. Get-hash need the powershell.
    The script I'm doing must run from XP to 10. I'm not sure but think XP does not run powershell, will verify.

    Thanks for this indication too.

    sha1deep.exe, a module of md5deep/hashdeep, was the best one of all indicated (including a lot that I myself find in my searchs) because it usage behavior exactly the way I want to use.

    Solved that part of my script.

    Thanks for your indication. :worthy::clap:

    Hi trungpt,

    I knew this too for a long time already.
    I could use it in normal day by day common tasks but it need
    NetFramework 2, instead I do use HashTab for a very long time for these
    common tasks.

    Code:
    Briefly explainning The one I was looked for (already found) 
    should/must run in a command line script (without any kind of GUI being 
    used/presented) because it is to be used in a script that will manage 
    thousands of files from different locations and that have their's SHA1 
    calculated reports already, so the tool should verifies (compares) and 
    returns a status code about the verification (comparison) result that 
    directs my script to the desired action without my intervention.
    Thank you.
