What is that strange string of characters everyone refers to md5 or sha1 when updating to a certain CFW/MFW? Well this md5/sha1 hash acts as a fingerprint on a certain file, basically meaning "is this the real file I am using?" mostly to secure any usage of fakes programs or such.

Here I introduce to you HashTab!
Download Link: You must login or register to view this content.
EDIT = Scanned Link You must login or register to view this content.

With HashTab you can validate file authenticity within any custom firmware PUP.
(NOTE: the hashes must be in capital or else the program might detect it as false)

Examples of md5/sha1 hashes:

Waninkoko CFW v2 (3.55)
MD5: 6a6cfc701300c95b57b990d8d609e52f
SHA1: a4f155711bbb031022d0c531d70a0b7a180b7aca

Kmeaw MFW 3.55
MD5: 2be5e87a22bf1e7f48e98fcabd38977b

Official Firmware 3.55(Sony)
MD5: ca595ad9f3af8f1491d9c9b6921a8c61

How-To use? You just open the PUP of any firmware you want to hash check and you copy the hash someone has provided for you and you paste it onto the bottom bar. Make sure to set MD5/SHA1 hashes on. If the hash is true then it will display a check sign confirming it is correct.

Go ahead and try it! "Thanks" is welcome if I helped in anyway ^.^.

this is true but it could be possible but i doubt it so many ppl would go to coart about it and stuff like that and peiple would buy xbox it would destroy sony lol

Exactly my friend , Sony wouldn't dare take a step close to disabling everyone's consoles. But I'm sure they will handle those who support piracy and hack online with a PSN ban, example: Black Ops.

bump, everyone's ps3 should be safe and secure

im sure this will be helpfull!

Sony doesn't have the right to brick, they have the right to ban, you "the user" brick the system yourself for messing with it

Thank you for clarifying.

not working i D-loaded theeres no program just alot of shell extensions WTF

Report this user it wasnt a program probaly just viruses

no theres not theres a exe for windows and a dmg for mac

Virus total usually finds nothing. Although it can find some of the older keyloggers and trojens, it isn't too helpful.
