I can help you with that. Here is a step -by -step guide to check that you have used an authentic version of Bitaddress.org using the Sha256 hash string and confirm it against the original HTML file:
Step 1: Download the original HTML file
If you want to check the authenticity of your Bitaddress.org HTML file, you will need to download the original HTML file from the Bitaddress.org website. You can do this by visiting [ ( and click the Download button.
Step 2: Check hash string Sha256
After downloading the original HTML file, extract its contents using a command line as Tar
orUnzip
. This will give you the contents of the HTML file in a file with an extension .html
. You can then use a hexadecimal editor or tool like Sha256sum
to check the Sha256 hash.
For example, in Linux you can use Sha1sum bitaddress.org.html | Head -n 1
to get the first row of hash string Sha256:
`bash
$ Sha1sum bitaddress.org.html | Head -n 1
...
This will show you a short version of the Sha256 hash string.
Step 3: Check against the original HTML file
Compare the SHA256 hash string of step 2 with the contents of the original HTML file. If they match, it means that your Bitaddress.org HTML file is an authentic copy.
For example:
`bash
$ Sha1sum bitaddress.org.html | Head -n 1
...
Original HTML file content:
... (insert the content here)
Hash string:
...
If Hash Strings Sha256 is successful that your Bitaddress.org HTML file is an authentic copy.
Linux verification command
Here’s a Linux command to help you check the authenticity of your HTML file Bitaddress.org using Sha256sum
and compare it with the original content:
`bash
$ Sha1sum bitaddress.org.html | Head -n 1 && Cat <(echo "$ (($ (Sha256sum bitaddress.org.html) | Head -n 1))"> /dev /null)
This command pulls the Sha256 hash string, prints it on the console using Head -N 1
, and then usescat
to redirect its output to a file. Syntax $ (...)
Syntax is used to perform the result of Sha256sum bitaddress.org.html
as a Shell command.
If the content matches, this command should not print anything. If there is any discrepancy, you will notice an error message indicating that the Sha256 hash does not match the original content.
Note
: This method suggests that your Bitaddress.org HTML file is stored in the same directory as the script and has an extension .html
. Also, keep in mind that this method only checks that the hash string of the Sha256 coincides with the original content; This does not check that you have used the correct version of Bitaddress.org.
I hope this helps! Tell me if you have any further questions or concerns.
