MD5SUM
According
to Wikipedia, md5sum is used to verify that the file is not tampered
and it has not changed as a result of file transfer, a disk error or
non malicious meddling.
Simply
put, if the md5sum matches that of the original file/source then you
are certain that the file is indeed a copy the original file and will
certainly work.
I
got my MD5 & SHA utility on this website and
used it on my Windows OS. I downloaded the Debian-live-8.2.0-amd64-xfce-desktop.iso from their website using torrent. After the downloading the file, I performed the following:
Get the
md5sum of Debian Live from Debian's website:
Run Md5sum
& Sha Checksum, click on FILE button and choose the iso image:
The md5sum matched! Ooorah!
