# Hash Match

hashma is a tiny utility that helps with checking the authenticity of

files downloaded from the internet. The usual routine when downloading

an OS image from the internet is to also download another file that

contains a list of checksums. Running a hashing algorithm against the

image file will return a string of characters, or a checksum, which

should match one of the checksums found in the list.

## Usage

hashma expects two arguments, a file to verify and a file that

contains a list of checksums. It will check the MD5, SHA1, SHA256, and

SHA512 hash of the file. If the hash is found in the list of checksums

it will return the hash and file name otherwise nothing.

Please note that this utility does not verify the file containing the

checksums. It is your duty to check the authenticity of the file

containing the checksum. Usually this is done via PGP signatures.

```
