Title: hash algorithm
Post by: charchess on July 05, 2022, 09:39:49 AM
Hi,

that may seems like a dumb question but what algorithm is used to check downloaded file versus catalog hashes ?

I'd like to be able to manually check a file after I download it without having to make PMPC do the full update process everytime

Thanks in advance

We look at the SHA256 hash value. More info can actually be found here: https://patchmypc.com/deep-dive-into-security-validation-of-third-party-software-updates-in-microsoft-sccm (https://patchmypc.com/deep-dive-into-security-validation-of-third-party-software-updates-in-microsoft-sccm)
