Checksum Verify App Mac
Mac users can use the built-in Terminal app to check a file’s checksum which means no third-party app download is required. Once it shows you the checksum for your file, you can then go ahead and compare it with the one that the source website has given you to find out if it was modified or corrupted in the process. Download Checksum for macOS 10.9 or later and enjoy it on your Mac. Fast and simple checksum evaluation. Drag and drop into window, paste reported checksum, and choose the hash.
How To Verify Checksum Windows
At the beginning of a disk image file is the sum of all the bits in that file. The program will then checksum to see if the sum is what is really in the image. If it is off, it reports 'invalid checksum'
If you downloaded it from a website, it likely was corrupted during download, and I would suggest trying to download it again. If you downloaded it from a peer to peer network, the file may be a fake.
You maybe able to skip the check sum at your own risk:
Checksums are there to protect you.
To enable skipping of the checksum verification to speed up mounting. So use the following (in Terminal):
*defaults write com.apple.frameworks.diskimages skip-verify true*
This will turn off disk image verification system-wide, regardless of what client has requested the mount (e.g. Finder or Safari or Disk Utility or DiskImageMounter.app).
