FreeNAS-11.2-U5.iso fails SHA256 check

[SoonerLater]

I have (three times) downloaded FreeNAS-11.2-U5.iso from https://download.freenas.org/11.2/STABLE/U5/x64/.

The sha256 checksum is stated on that page as 4049a971b783ecced4875188037fed11eec03235e1a52d5b96d87c99408e7424.

I am using MD5 & SHA Checksum Utility ver. 2.1 obtained from https://raylin.wordpress.com/downloads/md5-sha-1-checksum-utility/ to check the ISO. It fails. See below.

Can anyone help me troubleshoot this, please?

By the way, before checking the SHA256, I tried several times with Rufus and Image Writer to burn a USB drive with this ISO. Both programs locked up and crashed when trying to check the ISO image. Something isn't right here.

UPDATE:

When I run certutil -hashfile C:\Users\gstrickland\Downloads\FreeNAS-11.2-U5.iso sha256 at a Windows Command Prompt it produces this output:

e51c5c8947af58338d1aeef63805bfea60f91be5739779e2cd0ee1a7370ea1b7

However the sha256 checksum on the ixsystems.com website is:

4049a971b783ecced4875188037fed11eec03235e1a52d5b96d87c99408e7424

Is there an alternate download site?

Does IXSystems offer this for download by FTP?

BUMP

Seriously? Nobody from iXsystems has replied in five days?

The devs don’t really monitor the forum, you should file a support ticket for things like this

Thanks for raising this. I will have someone look into it.

Code:

C:\noyb>certutil -hashfile FreeNAS-11.2-U5.iso SHA256
SHA256 hash of FreeNAS-11.2-U5.iso:
4049a971b783ecced4875188037fed11eec03235e1a52d5b96d87c99408e7424
CertUtil: -hashfile command completed successfully.

Did you try downloading with a different browser? I recommend either Chrome or Firefox. FYI I am running Firefox 67.0.4 (64 bits) on a Windows 10 Pro workstation.

UPDATE & SOLUTION:

Back in July when I downloaded those ISOs and they failed SHA256 checks, I was running AdGuard on my Windows 10 PC. AdGuard is a sort of advertising filter that works as a proxy server. I recently had an SHA256 failure on another (unrelated) downloaded executable, which prompted me to look further. When I stopped AdGuard from running and re-downloaded the other (recent) file, it passed SHA256. Just now I re-downloaded FreeNAS-11.2-U6, it too passed.

I don't know yet whether I think that AdGuard is evil or just incompetent. Until I know for sure, I will no longer run AdGuard on any of my computers or Android phone.
