What is bitcheck?
Why - Safety. Nothing is perfect, but rust goes along way to make it more difficult for things like: out-of-bounds reads/writes, use-after-free, null pointer dereference and data races to occur. All of which, can lead to potentially exploitable behavior
How
- To use this script, simply install it, with cargo.
//Windows Command Line
C:\Users\username>cargo install bitcheck
//Linux Terminal
username@example.home>cargo install bitcheck
//the script will install to ~/.cargo/bin
- It is suggested that the ~/.cargo/bin folder be added to the existing path
- This can be done by adding the following line to the .bashrc, in the home folder
export PATH=$PATH:$HOME/.cargo/bin
- Save, exit and relaunch the terminal to load the recent changes.
- Bitcheck now supports all versions of ArchLabs currently available for download.
- ~~Currently only two version of ArchLabs can be downloaded.~~
- ~~archlabs-2017-10.iso~~
- ~~archlabs-2017-10-lts.iso~~
Note: The script will crawl your home directory tree looking for the ArchLabs images. - When a potential ArchLabs image is found, it will return the location of it. - Added support for Windows Directory Tree structure!
Running Bitcheck

//Windows Command Line C:\Users\username>bitcheck archlabs-2018-03.iso "C:\Users\username\Downloads\archlabs-2018-03.iso" SHA1: 68209a4efbc005b56611f15c90cfa287bad6cb2a TEST: 68209a4efbc005b56611f15c90cfa287bad6cb2a SHA1 Check: PASS MD5 : 8a17ea07ecb0381bfbacd66f4dea783c TEST: 8a17ea07ecb0381bfbacd66f4dea783c MD5 Check: PASS ``` *Important Note* If the one or both of the above is not present, after the location of the image. The image you have is CORRUPT! Do not use it, as it could have been tampered with.
bitcheck , is only intended for use with ArchLabs. Currently, it does not support other distributions.
