Transmit 5.11.0 Checksum

The SHA256 checksum of the Transmit 5.11.0.zip archive, available at https://download.panic.com/transmit/Transmit 5.11.0.zip is:

b15aa15da8e77e33864f50474518c527825a74a6e594337dc9201f4786dab992

Validating the Checksum

1. Download Transmit 5.11.0.zip
2. Run the following command in Terminal to compute the checksum of your copy:

$ shasum -a 256 ~/Downloads/Transmit\ 5.11.0.zip

If the hash portion of the command output matches the checksum above:

b15aa15da8e77e33864f50474518c527825a74a6e594337dc9201f4786dab992  /Users/panic/Downloads/Transmit 5.11.0.zip

you can be sure that your copy of the download is identical to the version on our website.

Unfortunately, validating the checksum alone does not guarantee that the contents of Transmit 5.11.0.zip haven’t changed since we posted it*. However, with one extra step you can also determine with certainty that the checksum above, and therefore the contents of the ZIP, originated from Panic.

*Why not? In the very unlikely circumstance that a malicious actor replaced the ZIP archive on our website and modified the contents of this article using a new SHA256 hash, the checksum could still validate.

Transmit 5.11.0 Checksum Signature

Using our public key, we have PGP-signed the SHA256 checksum from above:

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-----
Hash: SHA512

Validating the Signature

1. Follow these instructions to install GnuPG
2. Open your terminal
3. Copy the entire PGP message above, including -----BEGIN PGP MESSAGE----- and -----END PGP MESSAGE-----
4. Use the echo "<message" | gpg --verify - command to verify the PGP message copied above

Most importantly, GnuPG should indicate that the message was signed by Panic:

Additionally, the resulting Signed Text should match our original checksum:

b15aa15da8e77e33864f50474518c527825a74a6e594337dc9201f4786dab992

If both items match, you can be sure that the checksum in this article originated from Panic.

Putting it all together

By using two factors of validation:

• A checksum which ensures that your copy of Transmit 5.11.0.zip is identical to the copy on our website
• A PGP signature which ensures that the checksum originated from Panic

you can be sure that you are installing the release that we originally posted.
