Checksum and MD5 Calculator/Viewer Tool

Bekir's picture

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,

Great Tool!

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!

I like Steak.

There is a checksum tool

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

Downside: very specific

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.

well, it helps some anyways.

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.
