Verification of the Monero binary files should be done prior to extracting,
|
|
installing, or using the Monero software. This is the only way to ensure
|
|
that you are using the official Monero software. If you receive a fake
|
|
Monero binary (eg. phishing, MITM, etc.), following this guide will protect
|
|
you from being tricked into using it.
|
|
|
|
To protect the integrity of the binaries the Monero team provides a
|
|
cryptographically signed list of all the
|
|
[SHA256](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SHA-2) hashes. If your downloaded
|
|
binary has been tampered with it will be produce a [different
|
|
hash](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File_verification) than the one in the
|
|
file.
|
|
|
|
This is an advanced guide for Linux, Mac, or Windows operating systems and
|
|
will make use of the command line. It will walk you through the process of
|
|
installing the required software, importing the signing key, downloading the
|
|
necessary files, and finally verifying that your binary is authentic.

## Installing GnuPG
|
|
|
|
+ On Windows, go to the [Gpg4win download
|
|
page](https://gpg4win.org/download.html) and follow the instructions for
|
|
installation.
|
|
|
|
+ On Mac, go to the [Gpgtools download page](https://gpgtools.org/) and
|
|
follow the instructions for installation.
|
|
|
|
+ On Linux, GnuPG is installed by default.
|
|
|
|
## Verify and Import Signing Key
|
|
|
|
This section will cover getting the Monero signing key, making sure it is
|
|
correct, and importing the key to GnuPG.
|
|
|
|
### Get Signing Key
|
|
|
|
On Windows or Mac, go to [binaryFate's GPG
|
|
key](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/monero-project/monero/master/utils/gpg_keys/binaryfate.asc),
|
|
which he uses to sign the Monero binaries, and save the page as
|
|
`binaryfate.asc` to your home directory.
|
|
|
|
On Linux, you can download binaryFate's signing key by issuing the following
|
|
command:
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
wget -O binaryfate.asc
|
|
https://raw.githubusercontent.com/monero-project/monero/master/utils/gpg_keys/binaryfate.asc
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### Verify Signing Key
|
|
|
|
On all operating systems, check the fingerprint of `binaryfate.asc` by
|
|
issuing the following command in a terminal:
|
|
|
|
``` gpg --keyid-format long --with-fingerprint binaryfate.asc ```
|
|
|
|
|
|
Verify the fingerprint matches:
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
pub rsa4096/F0AF4D462A0BDF92 2019-12-12 [SCEA]
|
|
Key fingerprint = 81AC 591F E9C4 B65C 5806 AFC3 F0AF 4D46 2A0B DF92
|
|
uid binaryFate <binaryfate@getmonero.org>
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
If the fingerprint **DOES** match, then you may proceed.
|
|
|
|
If the fingerprint **DOES NOT** match, **DO NOT CONTINUE.** Instead delete
|
|
the file `binaryfate.asc` and go back to [section 2.1](#21-get-signing-key).
|
|
|
|
### Import Signing Key
|
|
|
|
From a terminal, import the signing key:
|
|
|
|
``` gpg --import binaryfate.asc ```
|
|
|
|
If this is the first time you have imported the key, the output will look
|
|
like this:
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
gpg: key F0AF4D462A0BDF92: 2 signatures not checked due to missing keys
|
|
gpg: key F0AF4D462A0BDF92: public key "binaryFate <binaryfate@getmonero.org>" imported
|
|
gpg: Total number processed: 1
|
|
gpg: imported: 1
|
|
gpg: marginals needed: 3 completes needed: 1 trust model: pgp
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
If you have imported the key previously, the output will look like this:
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
gpg: key F0AF4D462A0BDF92: "binaryFate <binaryfate@getmonero.org>" not changed
|
|
gpg: Total number processed: 1
|
|
gpg: unchanged: 1
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Download and Verify Hash File
|
|
|
|
This section will cover downloading the hash file and verifying its
|
|
authenticity.
|
|
|
|
### Get Hash File
|
|
|
|
On Windows or Mac, go to the [hashes file on getmonero.org]({{
|
|
site.baseurl_root }}/downloads/hashes.txt) and save the page as `hashes.txt`
|
|
to your home directory.
|
|
|
|
On Linux, you can download the signed hashes file by issuing the following
|
|
command:
|
|
|
|
``` wget -O hashes.txt https://www.getmonero.org/downloads/hashes.txt ```
|
|
|
|
### Verify Hash File
|
|
|
|
The hash file is signed with key `81AC 591F E9C4 B65C 5806 AFC3 F0AF 4D46
|
|
2A0B DF92`, as reflected in the output below.
|
|
|
|
On all operating systems, verify the signature of the hash file by issuing
|
|
the following command in a terminal:
|
|
|
|
``` gpg --verify hashes.txt ```
|
|
|
|
If the file is authentic, the output will look like this:
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
gpg: using RSA key 81AC591FE9C4B65C5806AFC3F0AF4D462A0BDF92
|
|
gpg: Good signature from "binaryFate <binaryfate@getmonero.org>" [unknown]
|
|
gpg: WARNING: This key is not certified with a trusted signature!
|
|
gpg: There is no indication that the signature belongs to the owner.
|
|
Primary key fingerprint: 81AC 591F E9C4 B65C 5806 AFC3 F0AF 4D46 2A0B DF92
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
If your output shows **Good signature**, as in the example, then you may
|
|
proceed.
|
|
|
|
If you see **BAD signature** in the output, **DO NOT CONTINUE.** Instead
|
|
delete the file `hashes.txt` and go back to [section
|
|
3.1](#31-get-hash-file).
|
|
|
|
## Download and Verify Binary
|
|
|
|
This section will cover downloading the Monero binary for your operating
|
|
system, getting the `SHA256` hash of your download, and verifying that it is
|
|
correct.
|
|
|
|
### Get Monero binary
|
|
|
|
On Windows or Mac, go to [getmonero.org]({{ site.baseurl_root }}/downloads/)
|
|
and download the correct file for your operating system. Save the file to
|
|
your home directory. **Do not extract the files yet.**
|
|
|
|
On Linux, you can download the command line tools by issuing the following
|
|
command:
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
wget -O monero-linux-x64-v0.15.0.1.tar.bz2 https://downloads.getmonero.org/cli/linux64
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### Binary Verification on Linux or Mac
|
|
|
|
The steps for both Linux and Mac are the same. From a terminal, get the
|
|
`SHA256` hash of your downloaded Monero binary. As an example this guide
|
|
will use the `Linux, 64bit` GUI binary. Substitute
|
|
`monero-gui-linux-x64-v0.15.0.1.tar.bz2` with the name of the binary that
|
|
you downloaded in [section 4.1](#41-get-monero-binary).
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
shasum -a 256 monero-linux-x64-v0.15.0.1.tar.bz2
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
The output will look like this, but will be different for each binary
|
|
file. Your `SHA256` hash should match the one listed in the `hashes.txt`
|
|
file for your binary file.
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
8d61f992a7e2dbc3d753470b4928b5bb9134ea14cf6f2973ba11d1600c0ce9ad
|
|
monero-linux-x64-v0.15.0.1.tar.bz2
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
If your hash **DOES** match, then you are finished with the guide! You can
|
|
extract the files and install.
|
|
|
|
If your hash **DOES NOT** match, **DO NOT CONTINUE.** Instead delete the
|
|
binary you downloaded and go back to [section 4.1](#41-get-monero-binary).
|
|
|
|
### Binary Verification on Windows
|
|
|
|
From a terminal, get the `SHA256` hash of your downloaded Monero binary. As
|
|
an example this guide will use the `Windows, 64bit` GUI binary. Substitute
|
|
`monero-gui-win-x64-v0.15.0.1.zip` with the name of the binary that you
|
|
downloaded in [section 4.1](#41-get-monero-binary).
|
|
|
|
``` certUtil -hashfile monero-gui-win-x64-v0.15.0.1.zip SHA256 ```
|
|
|
|
The output will look like this, but will be different for each binary
|
|
file. Your `SHA256` hash should match the one listed in the `hashes.txt`
|
|
file for your binary file.
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
SHA256 hash of file monero-gui-win-x64-v0.12.0.0.zip: 4b 9f 31 68 6e ca
|
|
ad 97 cd b1 75 e6 57 4b f3 07 f8 d1 c4 10 42 78 25 f4 30 4c 21 da 8a ac 18
|
|
64 CertUtil: -hashfile command completed successfully.
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
If your hash **DOES** match, then you are finished with the guide! You can
|
|
extract the files and install.
|
|
|
|
If your hash **DOES NOT** match, **DO NOT CONTINUE.** Instead delete the
|
|
binary you downloaded and go back to [section 4.1](#41-get-monero-binary).
