1.What is fciv?
--------------Fciv is a command line utility that computes and verifies hashes of files.
It computes a MD5 or SHA1 cryptographic hash of the content of the file.
If the file is modified, the hash is different.
With fciv, you can compute hashes of all your sensitive files.
When you suspect that your system has been compromised, you can run a verificati
on to determine which files have been modified.
You can also schedule verifications regularily.
2.Features:
----------- Hash algorithm: MD5 , SHA1 or both ( default MD5).
- Display to screen or store hash and filename in a xml file.
- Can recursively browse a directory ( ex fciv.exe c:\ -r ).
- Exception list to specify files or directories that should not be computed.
- Database listing.
- hashes and signature verifications.
- store filename with or without full path.
