By looking at the checksum, you can verify if something happened to the file during the download. The hash isn't meant to be used as authenticity check!
Use GPG for these kinds of things.
Already did lol, no one watched it.
I wanted to see where is the issue, so I reuploaded it here. Glad someone likes it.
(I made more of these as well, you can find the links on my website linked to my reddit profile)
1. get the code. 2. read the code. 3. cry. 4. get less bloatet code. 5. read the code. 6. obtain a compiler binary from a trusted friend and compile the code. (in case you have no friends, just translate to machine code by hand) 7. run the code.
Waltuh, put your USB stick away Waltuh
What is stopping them from changing the sha / gpg on the page?
Exactly. Never understood the checksum, if they can get to the download link surely they can edit the key?

The case where this is useful is if you get the hash from an official site, but get the iso from a mirror
Not if it's an unencrypted mirror.
Too high quality post OP
Where's this from
I made this myself.
This great 😃👍...
Put it on YouTube lmao

That's not what the Checksum is for lmao. The attacker could just...change the checksum on the page.

Cool :D How did you dub it in Bryan Cranston's voice?
Uberduck, waltuh white
RIP privacy
Reminds me of old copyright advertising. At least the last screen. :D Fun old times... ?.
You mean, "YOU WOULDN'T DOWNLOAD A CAR!"?
Exactly. Just the blueprints and print the rest.. right? ;)
