SHA / checksum explanation
A checksum (often SHA-256) is a fingerprint of the installer file. After downloading, you can compare the published hash with the hash of your local file. Matching values indicate the package was not altered in transit.

Source transparency
LocalSend is open source. Prefer releases that publish checksums or signatures so you can confirm the file you downloaded matches the intended build.
Security and integrity
Understand checksums, signatures, and why some antivirus tools may flag local transfer utilities.
Signatures
Code signing helps operating systems verify that an installer came from the expected publisher. When a signed build is available for your platform, prefer that package and keep OS trust settings enabled.
Antivirus false positives
Network discovery and local file transfer behavior can look unusual to heuristic scanners. A warning does not automatically mean malware. Cross-check checksums, prefer official packages, and review the antivirus guidance before quarantining a trusted build.
Before you install
Confirm you are on a network you are allowed to use, keep LocalSend updated, and read the Trust & Security policy for ethical and responsible use.
