EnCase Forensics Hash data corruption usually occurs when the software application or the operating system crashes while the .HASH data file is open in memory. These are Forensic Drive Image Hashes created with EnCase by Guidance Software Inc. They are used to identify Known System files which have been found in the EnCase drive image. The known system files can be downloaded from NIST.GOV and are updated quarterly. In most cases, headers or parts of the data file are not saved to disk causing the data corruption or the application to fail. Other causes of corruption are physical problems with the storage media, hardware malfunctions, natural causes, viruses, software errors, and human errors. In some cases of extreme corruption, data recovery of HASH files may not be possible because data recovery tools for EnCase Forensics Hashs are not available. If you cannot open HASH files, the software application itself may be missing or corrupted on the system. In such cases, using a HASH Viewer may give you an indication if the EnCase Forensics Hash file is corrupt or if the application is corrupted. It may be possible to open the HASH file extension without EnCase Forensics Hash by using a viewer. If the EnCase Forensics Hash application is corrupted, reinstalling the application will fix the issue.
