[FAQ] How do I verify the integrity of the FileBot installer?

Post by rednoah »

You can verify the integrity of a FileBot package by checking the SHA-256 checksum. If you compute the checksum of the file at hand, and then compare it to the known checksum published on our public GitHub repository, then you can be sure that the file you have is exactly byte-for-byte the file published by us.


You can find the expected SHA-256 checksum for each download here:
https://github.com/filebot/website/tree/master/get.filebot.net/filebot


If you already have an older version of FileBot installed, then you can use FileBot to compute the SHA-256 checksum of the file you have just downloaded and compare that to the expected checksum to verify file integrity for yourself:
