[SOLVED] How to do a checksum for "sha1"...?

duupunisher2x · 09-12-2020, 01:47 PM

I downloaded a copy of Santoku and the checksum on their website is for "sha1", not "sha256sum".

How do I check for "sha1" for a dvd?

For sha256sum, i usually check with: "sudo dd if=/dev/cdrom count=x bs=x | sha256sum"

sha1sum instead of sha256sum

But I could be wrong. Only ever checked those on a Manjaro image for my pinebook pro. To find that it didn't match because the wiki link was to the OLD version. So I had to download the NEW version directly from manjaro, not the pinebook pro wiki. Only then did it match.

$ sha1sum image.img

perhaps

$ sha1sum /dev/dvd

would be simpler / more efficient in your case. But I've never done that to know.

The "sha1sum" command would be the way; read the "Question Guidelines" link in my posting signature

And since you're posting in the "Newbie" forum, why on earth would you load Santoku, a specialized distro for security and forensics? Especially based on your other threads, where you appear to be having problems with plain Debian.

Thanks.

I was using a defective dvd player which caused the checksum equation not to work. Yes, using "sha1sum" instead of "sha256sum" worked fine.

Thanks!

It comes with some form of "cryptsetup-luks".

As do ALL versions of Linux. All of them support LUKS encryption.
