Supplies an exception list to specify files or directories to hashĬan store hash values for a file with or without the full path of the file Supports MD5 or SHA1 hash algorithms (The default is MD5.)Ĭan output hash values to the console or store the hash value and file name in an XML fileĬan recursively generate hash values for all files in a directory and in all subdirectories (for example, fciv.exe c:\ -r) The FCIV utility has the following features: The FCIV utility runs on Microsoft Windows 2000, Windows XP, and Windows Server 2003. If you suspect that your computer may have been compromised, and important files have been changed, you can run a verification of the file system files against the XML database to determine which files have been modified. With the FCIV utility, you can also compute hashes of all your critical files and save the values in an XML file database. FCIV can compare hash values to make sure that the files have not been changed. The File Checksum Integrity Verifier (FCIV) utility can generate MD5 or SHA-1 hash values for files to compare the values against a known good value. Microsoft Product Support Services (PSS) cannot answer questions about the File Checksum Integrity Verifier utility. Microsoft does not provide support for this utility. Warning The Microsoft File Checksum Integrity Verifier (FCIV) utility is an unsupported command-line utility that computes MD5 or SHA1 cryptographic hashes for files. This article discusses the File Checksum Integrity Verifier (FCIV) utility. These values can be displayed on the screen or saved in an XML file database for later use and verification.

FCIV can compute MD5 or SHA-1 cryptographic hash values. The File Checksum Integrity Verifier (FCIV) is a command-prompt utility that computes and verifies cryptographic hash values of files.
