File Checksum Integrity Verifier

It's rare when i post something that isn't from my authority but there is always an exception to the rule.

The File Checksum Integrity Verifier (FCIV) is a command-prompt utility that computes and verifies cryptographic hash values of files. FCIV can compute MD5 or SHA-1 cryptographic hash values. These values can be displayed on the screen or saved in an XML file database for later use and verification.

Which is very nice!

Some examples:

fciv.exe c:\mydir\myfile.dll
fciv.exe c:\ -r -exc exceptions.txt -sha1 -xml dbsha.xml
fciv.exe c:\mydir -type *.exe
fciv.exe c:\mydir -wp -both -xml db.xml

More useful one;

To create the database and to save it to the C:\Temp directory, type the following command:

fciv.exe -add %systemroot% -r -XML c:\temp\windows-hashes.XML


To list the contents of the database to the console, type the following command:
fciv.exe -list -XML c:\temp\windows-hashes.XML


To verify the contents of the XML database against the current file system files, type the following command:
fciv -v -XML c:\temp\windows-hashes.XML
