OpenHashTab

About

OpenHashTab is a shell extension for conveniently calculating and checking file hashes from file properties.

Features

• Support for 28 algorithms, see Algorithms
• High performance hash calculation
• Native Windows looks
• High DPI screen support
• Long path support*
• Multilingual (Consider contributing to translation!)
• Check hashes against VirusTotal with a button
• Hash checking against a checksum file (Supported: hex hash next to file, *sum output (hex or base64), corz .hash, SFV)
• Hash export to file or clipboard (Supported: *sum output, corz .hash, SFV)
• Optional context menu option for faster access
• File associations and standalone mode

* to the extent Windows and configuration supports it. Enable long paths on 1607+ for better support.

System requirements

• Windows 7 or later (x86 / x64 / ARM64)
• 1 GB RAM or more (for efficient hashing of more than 512 files at a time)

Usage

Most of the actions should be obvious. Some not-so-obvious features are listed here:

• You can select multiple files or folders, all files will be hashed, directories traversed
• Double click hash to copy it
• Double click name or algorithm to copy the line in sumfile format
• Right click for popup menu: copy hash, copy filename, copy line, copy everything
• The counters next to the status text is in the format (match/mismatch/nothing to check against/error)
• Columns sort lexicographically, except the hash column which sorts by match type
• Selecting the tab on a sumfile will interpret it as such and hash the files listed in it.
• If a hashed file has a sumfile with same filename plus one of the recognized sumfile extensions and the option for it is enabled, the file hash is checked against it.

Advanced features

Override Windows language selection

Add a DWORD named LangIdOverride to HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\OpenHashTab with your preferred LCID

Disable VirusTotal button for all users on a machine

Add a DWORD named ForceDisableVT to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\OpenHashTab with a nonzero value

Algorithms

• CRC32, CRC64 (xz)
• xxHash (XXH32, XXH64)
• xxHash3 (64 and 128 bit variants)
• MD4, MD5
• RipeMD160
• Blake2sp
• SHA-1
• SHA-2 (SHA-224, SHA-256, SHA-384, SHA-512)
• SHA-3 (SHA3-224, SHA3-256, SHA3-384, SHA3-512)
• BLAKE3 (256 bit, 512 bit)
• KangarooTwelve (264 bit, 256 bit, 512 bit)
• ParallelHash128 (264 bit) and ParallelHash256 (528 bit)
• Streebog (GOST R 34.11-12) (256 bit, 512 bit)

Relationship to HashTab

HashTab was a similar purpose proprietary software. While this software has been inspired by it, I was never a user of HashTab and this software contains no code or resources related to it.
