You've probably occasionally seen a long string of letters and numbers when downloading software or other files from a website. This is called a checksum or hash, and is a way to ensure that the file you downloaded is exactly what it should be. If the file is corrupted or changed in any way from what is intended, it will have a completely different hash. This provides a layer of protection against corruption and even compromised websites. In this video I explain all this, then show you a few useful tools for checking the hashes of files you download.
