File identity check

Verify Luczystrap before you open it.

For the official public build 1.4.9, three things must agree: this website as the source, the filename, and SHA-256. A matching hash confirms that you have the published file. It does not, by itself, prove that a program is safe.

01
Source matches The file came from this website’s Download page
02
File matches The downloaded file is named Luczystrap.exe
03
SHA-256 matches All 64 hexadecimal characters are identical

Windows verification

Check the file in five steps.

Perform these checks before double-clicking the executable. You do not need to upload the file to another service.

02

Check the file

Open Windows Properties without running it

In File Explorer, right-click the downloaded file and choose Properties. Confirm the filename, then use SHA-256 for the actual identity check.

Expected name Luczystrap.exe
Expected platformWindows

A browser may rename a second copy to something like Luczystrap (1).exe. A renamed file can still have the same hash, so SHA-256 remains the decisive identity check.

03

Calculate SHA-256

Use PowerShell locally

Open PowerShell. Replace the example path with the location of your file, or type Get-FileHash, add a space, drag the file into the PowerShell window, and then append -Algorithm SHA256.

PowerShell
Get-FileHash "C:\Users\you\Downloads\Luczystrap.exe" -Algorithm SHA256
Alternative: use CertUtil
Windows also includes CertUtil. Run certutil -hashfile "C:\Users\you\Downloads\Luczystrap.exe" SHA256 and use the 64-character value it returns.
04

Compare the result

Match every hexadecimal character

The calculated SHA-256 must equal the official value below. Letter case does not matter. Spaces added for display do not matter. Every hexadecimal character does.

05

Interpret the result

Match means identity; mismatch means stop

If the value matches, you have the same file identified by the official 1.4.9 release record. If it differs, do not open the file. Use the decision block below.

Local comparison

Paste the PowerShell hash.

The comparison runs only in this browser tab. Nothing is uploaded or sent to a server.

Paste a calculated SHA-256 and select “Compare hash.”

This tool extracts a 64-character SHA-256 from pasted PowerShell output. It does not read the file itself.

Decision

Act on the result.

Hash matches

The file identity is confirmed

Your file has the same SHA-256 as the official GitHub 1.4.9 asset. That protects against accidental corruption or a substituted mirror file.

It does not certify the program as harmless or replace a code signature, source review, or security audit.

Hash does not match

Do not open the file

  1. Delete the mismatched copy.
  2. Return to this website’s official Download page.
  3. Download a fresh Luczystrap.exe.
  4. Calculate SHA-256 again before opening it.
  5. If a fresh official download still differs, stop and report the mismatch.

What this check cannot prove

Identity is not the same as safety.

A hash answers “is this the same file?” It does not answer every security question.

Digital signature

Version 1.4.9 is not documented with a valid Windows publisher signature. A matching hash therefore does not add a verified publisher identity to the executable.

Automated virus scans

Public automated services have produced conflicting results for this same SHA-256. A clean label and a suspicious label both require context; neither changes the file’s identity.

Current source code

The current application source is not public, so the 1.4.9 executable cannot be independently reproduced from the repository.

Direct answers

File verification FAQ.

Does changing the filename change SHA-256?
No. Renaming the file does not change its contents, so its SHA-256 remains the same. Editing, corrupting, or replacing any bytes does change it.
Can a fake file have the same name and size?
Yes. A filename is easy to copy. That is why the website source and SHA-256 must also match.
Should I upload the executable to a hash website?
It is not necessary for this identity check. PowerShell and CertUtil calculate the hash locally without uploading the file.
Does a matching hash mean Windows will not warn me?
No. SHA-256 identity and Windows reputation or publisher signing are different systems. The hash may match while SmartScreen still displays a warning.
