Small freeware app to compute and verify the SHA-1, SHA-256, SHA-512 and MS5 hashes of a file or a text string.
Karen's Hasher is a small and free utility to calculate the hashes of a file, a list of files or text.
The simplistic and neatly organized layout is grouped into tabs: "Hash Text" is where you can paste text and calculate the MD5, SHA-1, SHA-224, SHA-256, SHA-386 or SHA-512 hashes of the string of text.
The same algorithms are available for individual files or a group of files. Saved hashes may also be loaded from a file. You can save files as SHA512 or TXT format.
You can associate .md5, .sha1, .sha224, .sha256, .sha384 or .sha512 files with Karen's Hasher in order to quickly verify files from Windows Explorer.
Bottom line: Karen's Hasher is an easy and simple application that is very useful for verifying filehashes of items downloaded from the Internet with support for most of the older and newer algorithms.
