TidyStack - Verification Note


Verifying Tidystack.exe

For users who want to confirm the file you downloaded is byte-for-byte identical to the one I shipped.

A SHA256 hash is a unique fingerprint of a file. If even one byte changes, the fingerprint is completely different. The hash on the installation guide is the fingerprint of the file I uploaded. Running the same hash on your copy and comparing the two confirms nothing happened to the file in between.

To verify:

  1. Open PowerShell. (Press the Windows key, type PowerShell, press Enter.)

  2. Navigate to where you saved tidystack.exe. Example: cd ~\\Downloads

  3. Run: Get-FileHash tidystack.exe -Algorithm SHA256

Compare the output to the SHA256 hash on the install guide. They should match exactly.

If they don't match, the file was either corrupted in transit or tampered with. Delete it and download again. If a fresh download still doesn't match, email me.
