  • 1.  Fingerprinting Files in Specific Directories

    Posted Mar 21, 2017 07:22 PM

    I found the documentation on fingerprinting confusing to say the least. Copying the checksum.exe into the folder I wanted to hash would give errors such as:

    Error: Output path is potentially unsafe. Choose a path outside of SEP product directories.

    Error: Unable to open output file(" c:\test\list.txt c: )

     

    Say you want to fingerprint all the files in C:\Dell\Drivers\FTX9M and output the hashes to C:\test\list.txt

    Run this from a command prompt:

    \"Program Files (x86)"\Symantec\"Symantec Endpoint Protection"\checksum.exe  c:\test\list.txt C:\Dell\Drivers\FTX9M

    I hope this of help to someone in the future.

    Hi Brian.

    Yeah, that was me asking the question in that thread :) I thought I'd post a specific example for fingerprinting selected directories, and without having to copy the checksum ececutable anywhere.
