WikiDevi.Wi-Cat.RU:DD-WRT/Hashes & Checksums

A hash (or checksum) is a simple type of redundancy check that is used to detect errors in data. It is often used to verify the contents of critical data, such as software packages, ISO images, or in our case a downloaded firmware binary. When we verify the hash, we can rest assured the firmware is not corrupted and is safe to flash.

'''WARNING: It can prevent MITM attacks to access your firmware and hashes via an encrypted link, i.e. the httpS version of the downloads section and the httpS version of this article, both of which are served with a valid (CA-signed) SSL certificate.

Developers have begun posting the hashes of recent builds in a file labeled MD5SUMS located in the same directory as the firmware files. Keep this in mind, as you may need to locate them if you don't happen to see the hash for your particular binary below.

Using Linux
Open a command shell. Type,

md5sum /path/to/firmware.bin

Look at the hash value and compare it to the one shown below. If the values don't match, something is wrong. DO NOT flash the firmware until you can verify that the hash is correct!

Using Windows
For Windows, I recommend installing a handy freeware app named HashTab.

Once HashTab is installed, simply right-click on the downloaded firmware file, go to Properties > File Hashes tab.

Look at the MD5 hash value and compare it to the one shown below (You can also copy/paste the hash from below into HashTab for a quick comparison). If the values don't match, something is wrong. DO NOT flash the firmware until you can verify that the hash is correct!

Using MacOS
Open Terminal. (It's in the Utilities folder inside Applications.) Type:

/usr/bin/openssl md5 /path/to/firmware.bin

e.g. /usr/bin/openssl md5 ~/Desktop/dd-wrt.v23_sp2_vpn/dd-wrt.v23_vpn_generic.bin If you drag the firmware file onto the Terminal window, MacOS will insert the full pathname of the firmware file for you. :)

Look at the hash value and compare it to the one shown below. If the values don't match, something is wrong. DO NOT flash the firmware until you can verify that the hash is correct!

Notes from BrainSlayer
When flashing from the web interface, the checksum is always checked and it will be performed completely if the router has enough memory free for storing the image into the RAM. If this is not the case, the firmware will be flashed and a checksum error will be displayed at the end, but the router will not reboot in this case. So you're still able to reflash it.

When flashing via TFTP, the bootloader always checks the checksum before flashing and refuses to do it if the checksum is invalid.

It does matter if you transfer the file with tftp (udp) or web (tcp) as far as the checksum is checked internally after the file arrived and this is done. So tftp can also be used as safe flashing way.
