Collision

Collision is a handy app that helps you check if files are safe and sound. It uses cryptographic hash functions to create a unique code for each file, called a checksum. This way, you can see if anyone has messed with the file.

Easy File Verification

If you’re using Linux, you’ve got options! You can fire up the Terminal and get hash values yourself, or you can go the easier route with an app that has a nice graphical user interface (GUI). Collision is perfect for this! With just a few clicks, you can generate or verify hashes.

Why Use Collision?

Collision makes it super simple to keep your files safe. You can create MD5, SHA-1, SHA-256, and SHA-512 hashes. This means you’ll know exactly if any file has been tampered with or not. Just pick one of the tabs in the app to start generating hash values or verifying them against checksums.

User-Friendly Interface

The app is designed to be straightforward. Just drop in the file you want to check and compare its hash value with what’s on official sources. It’s like having a personal security guard for your files!

Compatibility Across Distributions

You might wonder if Collision works on all Linux systems. The good news? Yes! While it’s mainly built for GNOME-based systems, it should run smoothly on any distribution as long as your system meets the requirements.

How to Get Collision

You have two ways to grab this handy tool: either build it from source by visiting its official GitHub repository, or download it directly from Flathub.

A Simple Yet Effective Tool

Overall, while Collision may not be flashy, it's effective at doing its job. You’ll be able to quickly generate MD5, SHA-1, SHA-256, and SHA-512 hash values for any file and compare them effortlessly!

If you're looking for an easy way to protect yourself from malicious files, give Collision a try!
