How Do I Check Software Package Integrity?¶
This section describes how to verify integrity of the DIS SDK software package on a Linux system by using a verification file.
Prerequisites¶
The PuTTY tool is available.
The WinSCP tool is available.
Procedure¶
Upload the DIS SDK software package dis-sdk-1.2.3.zip to any directory on the Linux system by using WinSCP.
Log in to the Linux system by using PuTTY. In the directory in which dis-sdk-1.2.3.zip is stored, run the following command to obtain the verification code of the DIS SDK software package:
sha256sum dis-sdk-1.2.3.zip
Example verification code:
# sha256sum dis-sdk-1.2.3.zip 8be2c937e8d78b1a9b99777cee4e7131f8bf231de3f839cf214e7c5b5ba3c088 dis-sdk-1.2.3.zip
Open the DIS SDK verification file dis-sdk-1.2.3.zip.sha256sum and compare it with the verification code obtained in 2.
If they are consistent, it indicates that the DIS SDK software package is not tampered with.
If they are inconsistent, the DIS SDK software package is tampered with and you need to obtain an untampered package.
