Broad manifest compatibility
Work with NourForge data and a broad range of common SHA-256 layouts.
NOURFORGE UTILITIES · WINDOWS APPLICATION
NourForge Archive Verify Checker
Automatically detect supported verification data, identify pass, fail, missing and warning conditions, and use enhanced chunk evidence for richer corruption analysis.
CAPABILITIES
Designed for a clear, reliable workflow.
Verify NourForge and common SHA-256 checksum formats, with enhanced Match % analysis when chunk evidence is available.
Automatic source detection
Identify supported verification sources and reduce manual setup.
Enhanced Match %
When compatible chunk evidence is available, calculate the percentage of reference chunks that still match after a whole-file SHA-256 failure.
Detailed results
Differentiate pass, fail, missing, extra, skipped and warning conditions with exportable evidence.
Find moved or unidentified files
Search a folder from a single orphaned SHA-256, or use exact hash resolution to pair unresolved manifest entries with renamed or moved files.
Flexible, explicit matching modes
Support relative paths, manual file/hash checks, partial or multi-disc workflows, exact orphan resolution and optional legacy closest-name fallback—with the mode reported in results.
Multiple workspaces and queues
Prepare and run independent verification jobs with detachable results and activity views.
BROAD MANIFEST COMPATIBILITY
Use the verification data you already have.
Checker detects supported SHA-256 formats and reports unsupported or ambiguous data rather than guessing silently.

LEARN
What does SHA-256 verification tell you?
Checker turns reference hashes into a complete verification workflow: identify the source format, evaluate the selected archive scope, calculate current SHA-256 values and show evidence for passes, failures, missing files, extras and warnings.

Getting started with Archive Verify CheckerVerify an archive against NourForge or common SHA-256 manifest data and review clear pass, failure and warning results. →Supported SHA-256 manifest formatsUnderstand Checker’s automatic format detection and the layouts accepted for whole-file SHA-256 verification. →Find moved files and resolve orphaned hashesUse exact SHA-256 evidence to find a lost file by hash or pair unresolved manifest entries with renamed or moved archive files. →Interpret Enhanced Match %Use chunk evidence to understand how much of a non-matching file still agrees with the original reference. →Verify partial volumes and relocated filesChoose matching behaviour deliberately when one manifest covers multiple discs or files have moved from their original relative paths. →Read results, save reports and use queuesTurn verification output into a clear audit trail across one or multiple workspaces. →
