HashTools v1.1 Released

Do you love hashes? I do! Well, they’re helpful when it comes to checking the integrity of a file. That’s the reason I created HashTools back in January of 2007, over 1 year ago. This latest release clears up some long-standing issues and adds some much needed features. The new feature I find most useful is the ability to drag and drop files into the HashTools interface. Another new feature that I find myself using quite frequently is the ability for HashTools to automatically load and compare a hash when checking a file. For example, if you are generating an MD5 hash for a file called “MyFile.iso”, HashTools will check for a file called “MyFile.md5″. If this file exists, it will be loaded and HashTools will compare the hash contained in this file against the generated hash. Maybe this is a feature that only I will find useful, but I hope at least one other person will too.

Do you wish you could use your favourite Binary Fortress Software application without having to install it? Perhaps you want to take it on a USB key to your friends house, or perhaps you just don’t like installing software. Well, now you don’t need to install anything. I have repackaged 4 of my applications as zip files so you won’t need to install them.

I will be updating some other applications very shortly, so if you don’t see your favourite listed here don’t worry. For everyone that does like to install an application before using it, don’t worry. The installer versions are still available and always will be.

Happy Downloading!

HashTools v0.3

I have updated the HashTools page with v0.3. This version adds support for SHA256, SHA386 and SHA512 hashes. There are also a few minor interface tweaks as well, to deal with the longer hashes generated with these algorithms. This brings the total hash types generated up to 5.

If you have any requests that you would like to see incorporated into the next version of HashTools just drop me a line. You can get my contact information from the Contact page.
