Software on Internet


 

  • When you download software from the Internet, why is it important to verify the MD5 hash value? Describe some first and important steps you would use to verify a MD5 checksum of downloaded software. Are there tools built into the operating system that will check the MD5 sum? Can you recommend a website with MD5 checkers as a potential resource? 

  • What would happen if you downloaded new software, and confirmed that the MD5 value does not match the site? What steps would you take to resolve this issue?
