Show hash of files in a directory

Question

What is the easiest way to list all files in a directory with their hashes?

I am trying to compare a list of files in a folder. The problem is that all the file sizes are the same but I need to ensure that their content are the same too.

Answer 1

Powershell has a cmdlet named Get-FileHash. One can just do a ls and pipe the output to GetFileHash

eg. ls | Get-FileHash

You can also specify the hash algorithm by passing the -Algorithm parameter:

eg. ls | Get-FileHash -Algorithm MD5
