MDHashTool is a convenient Firefox add-on designed to help users verify the authenticity of their downloads by providing a simple way to check their integrity.
The tool is based on the md5sum/sha1sum backend modules ported from the GNU Core Utilities package with minimal modification. It replaces the command line interface of those utilities with a user-friendly graphical interface that can be accessed from the browser's Tools menu or the downloads window context menu.
MDHashTool offers several key features, including drag and drop support for files and text selections, simplified comparison of computed and reference checksums, and automated verification of downloads originating from checksum-enhanced URLs.
To use MDHashTool, users must have Firefox 1.4 or later installed. Overall, MDHashTool is a useful tool for Firefox users who require a message digest tool within their browser.
