Hey there, just wanted to let anybody who cares to know that I got a bad checksum while I was verifying the direct ISO for Kali Linux 64 bit v1.1.0a from the main site (https://www.kali.org/downloads/). First download, I checked it with fciv and got:

E:\Images>ls
kali-linux-1.1.0a-amd64.iso

E:\Images>fciv kali-linux-1.1.0a-amd64.iso -sha1
//
// File Checksum Integrity Verifier version 2.05.
//
5804cdc0d11d44d4e2b16008f6716ba22438401f kali-linux-1.1.0a-amd64.iso
This was in comparison to the sha1 in the official the directory that claimed it should be:

2b8d2db20e2709c5e9e0f9f9bbd8606c9b9e729f kali-linux-1.1.0a-amd64.iso
So, to double check, I grabbed the torrent instead and it downloaded much faster. I ran the checksum on the torrent and got this:

E:\Images>ls
kali-linux-1.1.0a-amd64.iso kali-linux-1.1.0a-amd64.txt.sha1sum
kali-linux-1.1.0a-amd64.torrent

E:\Images>fciv kali-linux-1.1.0a-amd64.iso -sha1
//
// File Checksum Integrity Verifier version 2.05.
//
2b8d2db20e2709c5e9e0f9f9bbd8606c9b9e729f kali-linux-1.1.0a-amd64.iso
This matches the previously listed sha1 checksum and also the listed checksum in the file 'kali-linux-1.1.0a-amd64.txt.sha1sum'.


If you have gotten "5804cdc0d11d44d4e2b16008f6716ba22438401f kali-linux-1.1.0a-amd64.iso", please chime in. If it was a one-time mistake during transfer, awesome. If it's a fake mirror, that'd suck mega *****. Good thing I checked myself before I wrecked myself though.

But as always,
Safe cracking everybody!
