File integrity[]
To check the integrity of downloaded files, one can use an MD5 hash to calculate the MD5sum of the downloaded file and compare it with a known good sum. Below is a table of known good MD5sums (the list will be fleshed out shortly):
Filename MD5sum TWEE_Upgrade.exe (August 2011) 393B4783F2D6B906A6EAEA3D927B4A92TWEE_Upgrade.exe (Bad, pre-August 2011) 9ddbb3baf43c8a7236ce1c2e3c038249TWEE_English_language_pack.exe 21e96ffd871db9797830313f5380271aTWEE_adventure_The_Price_of_Neutrality.exe f9802e7447bfb080e8f061d9acf47db5TWEE_adventure_Side_Effects.exe d811cd48e0e0b159ae4ecf977055de5cTWEE_Polish_language_pack.exe 4FBF98976639866FD2DA35EAC7AEBE5ATWEE_German_language_pack.exe 13EB798770B4E4AE461190A816A4799ETWEE_Spanish_language_pack.exe B1BF8EC36F6974D1183047C6B8F54C4ETWEE_Italian_language_pack.exe 7CC49D43B94370D51AE9216896669DBFTWEE_French_language_pack.exe E396873D7229CABCF59E8DBF8A7D2349TWEE_Russian_language_pack.exe 5E1137C01E0C30D0119668A68F5BF3D2TWEE_Hungarian_language_pack.exe 4CEA3BADABEBE4D4A3CA74491AEACAC2TWEE_Czech_language_pack.exe DA23CAE982B9793BC772F4F3065311BETWEE_EAX_HotFix_2.3.exe 276b4babe10caa335a4d571937b2bfe0
There are many tools that can calculate an MD5sum, for reference one can use the freely available MD5-Checksum by Nero because it lets you specify a known good MD5sum and it automatically compares it with the MD5sum calculated from your chosen file.
