You may have a sha256 hash of your version? Then we can at least see whether someone gets a different version and whether the sha256 on such a few months is still the same
A newly downloaded copy of putty.exe gives me the following hash:.. 8aafc0858cb440910b9b7f237124f373389591a488a77d3d367da56bbf462678
I think at present one other source that has the same hash: http://www.heise.de/forum…ff/posting-21037090/show/ but that is also published today therefore does not quite yet much added value
Henk Poley:. hashes only have value if you download via a different channel than what you get from the binary, http or https so it does not really matter. Hence the publication of hashes, for example mailing lists or here on t.net it adds something.

Apart, according to VirusTotal give three of the 55 anti-virus scanners that also in the putty.exe I’ve just downloaded a virus is: https: //www.virustotal.co…2678/analysis/1438020090/
I have met the aforementioned putty on the next page http: //www.chiark.greenen…atham/putty/download.html

On windows you seem to use the following to calculate the hash a file: certutil
-hashfile putty.exe SHA256
On OS X, the IIG:
shasum -a $ 256 Downloads / putty.exe
8aafc0858cb440910b9b7f237124f373389591a488a77d3d367da56bbf462678 Downloads / putty .exe

It might be a nice addition to the t.net software tracker now also publish hashes with the announcement. This way there is always a side-channel with hashes available for the software that is being announced here. checksum at downloads
