Comment on Providing a checksum without telling you how it was created

It’s not that uncommon because they have specific lengths, so usually just by the length you can know the checksum. Of course it’s not perfect, but for file verification it’s usually MD5, SHA1, or SHA256, so the length is enough to differentiate between them.
But yeah, dick move.

Etc.
