Description

Currently we link to the Github page of OpenHashTab, which of course is an .exe which must be downloaded and installed. The certutil command is already built into Windows:
https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-server/administration/windows-commands/certutil

Example output:

C:\Users\user\Downloads>certutil -hashfile pfSense-plus-memstick-serial-22.05-RELEASE-amd64.img.gz sha256
SHA256 hash of pfSense-plus-memstick-serial-22.05-RELEASE-amd64.img.gz:
f14558ad85a8a38aea04c0e5989ea0099119fbaa94872fd54e8d69fbec7b2587
