Package check before running Toolbox

Before opening the Windows archive on a workstation that can reach miner subnets, make these checks.

Get-FileHash -Algorithm SHA256 .\braiins-toolbox.7z

Expected SHA-256: AE650F0A75DA711C56675F89EA2358BC303CC27BD33F86F6360E238CADE838B0

  • Download the package for the operating system that will manage the miners.
  • Confirm the version matches the release you plan to use.
  • Keep the package out of public deploy folders and shared web directories.
  • Run the first scan as a read-only discovery step before applying pool, reboot, or firmware actions.

Source and workstation checks

  • Use the Braiins release page or product page as the source for the package.
  • Avoid mirrors, reuploads, renamed archives, and chat-file drops.
  • Use a workstation with a clear operations role, not a random personal browser session.
  • Keep miner credentials and API keys outside public folders.

Team workflow

For fleet work, record the package version, download date, operator, workstation OS, target miner list, and rollout notes.
