## Getting Started
Run from executable
1. Download [FileHasher-x64.exe](https://github.com/EvanHei/FileHasher/releases/download/v1.0.0/FileHasher-x64.exe) or [FileHasher-x86.exe](https://github.com/EvanHei/FileHasher/releases/download/v1.0.0/FileHasher-x86.exe) depending on your architecture.
| File | SHA-256 |
| ------------------ | ------------------------------------------------------------------ |
| FileHasher-x64.exe | `957e1f2be0ce074192af620edcfadef2805765ed99efc09b54fef98f349c9ff7` |
| FileHasher-x86.exe | `1d9ca1aab24bbe53d2ddfa69be1d7c04681b60ba941a16d768ce37f438c21190` |
2. Double-click the executable, click "More info", and then click "Run anyway". This prompt will disappear the next time FileHasher is run.
Run from source code
1. Download the .NET SDK from Microsoft's website here or verify installation by running the following command:
```bash
dotnet --version
```
2. Navigate to FileHasher/WinFormsUI/ and launch with the following command:
```bash
dotnet run
```
## Guide
### Hashes Panel
The Hashes panel allows the computation of a file's hashes using multiple different algorithms. A file can either be dragged and dropped on the window or manually selected using the Browse... feature.
- **Browse...**: opens a dialog to select a file.
- **📋**: copies the hash to the clipboard.
- **🗑️**: clears the current file's hashes.
- **❔**: opens the README on GitHub.
### Validate Panel
The Validate panel allows the validation of an expected file hashes compared against a computed hash of a provided file.
- **Dropdown**: allows selection of the hashing algorithm.
- **Text box**: allows input of the expected hash.
### Compare Panel
The Compare panel allows data from 2 files to be hashed and compared using SHA512.
