I'm finally getting around to making a portfolio page for this project, but here it is.

About

Windows. Checkmate also comes packaged with a checksum generator tool to quickly generate checksums for your own files for others to validate against. The project is open source, so you can fork the project and do with it what you will via GitHub [github.com] or Bitbucket [bitbucket.org].


Installation

To install Checkmate on windows, simply download and install the Checkmate setup executable, and run it. The Windows version comes packaged with an optional installation of the source code as well.


Usage

Usage is pretty simple. To run the validator, browse for a file to validate, then either supply an MD5 hash or browse for a hash file to import the hash.

Checkmate also comes packaged with a checksum generator under "Tools > Checksum Generator" Simply supply the file you wish to generate a checksum for and copy it from the text box once creation is complete.

You also have the option to save the file anywhere you like as well, so it can be used anywhere without having to make it yourself.
