Hash value "Insecure" #192

Closed DHFan45 closed 1 year ago

DHFan45 commented 1 year ago

Good day, can you please explain to me how the following analysis of the program is to be interpreted?

When I check a file, the result of the "hash check" is always classified as "Insecure" (color highlighted) even though the hash value matches. Can you please explain me under which conditions a hash value is "Insecure" ? Is the file or the result still to be understood as error-free?

Under which conditions is a hash value highlighted in green and has the value "match" ?

Thank you Unbenannt

Insecure just means that the algorithm used is not (or not anymore) cryptographically secure, and you shouldn't trust it for ruling out malicious modifications.
