In plain words

SHA1 Checksum Large Files with HTML5 Typed Arrays and Web Workers is a web-based tool that computes SHA1 checksums for large files directly in the browser. It uses HTML5 typed arrays and web workers to process files efficiently without server upload. The tool is designed for users who need to verify file integrity locally. It leverages browser-based computation to handle large files while maintaining performance through parallel processing with web workers.

    The pattern of downloading and executing installation scripts without verifying them has bothered me for a while. I started messing around with a way to verify the checksum of scripts before I execute them. I've found it a really useful tool for installing things like Rust or Deno. It's written entirely as a shell script, and it's easy to read and understand what's happening. I hope it may be useful to someone else!

    Yes, it's open source: https://github.com/lissy93/web-check :) Why I'm building this? There are a lot of tools out there for discovering meta and security data relating to a website, IP or server. But currently, there isn't anything that does everything, all in one place and without a paywall/ user sign up. It's still a WIP, and I'm working on a new version, with some more comprehensive checks, so any feedback would be much appreciated :)
