About this application

Collision is a Linux utility for checking file hashes. It is intended for situations where a user has a file and a reference digest, and needs to confirm whether the computed value matches the expected one. The application provides a graphical workflow around a task that is often performed from the command line: selecting a file, calculating its hash, and comparing the result.

The program is useful for checking downloads, archives, disk images, or other files when a publisher or another source provides a checksum. Its scope is narrow: it does not manage downloads, inspect file contents, or replace a backup or signing system. Collision focuses on hash comparison on Linux, with a BSD-2-Clause license and development credited to Evangelos "GeopJr" Paterakis.
