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.
