Easy way 2

Get the sha256 hash of the Bitcoin Core release you downloaded. On Linux, you can run, for example, sha256sum bitcoin-0.13.0-x86_64-linux-gnu.tar.gz. On Windows you can run (at a command prompt) certUtil -hashfile bitcoin-0.13.0-win32.zip SHA256. On Mac OS X, you can run shasum -a 256 bitcoin-0.13.0-osx.dmg.

in windows

Can a little more explanation

Putting it in a file as suggested will work. But in looking online, it seems to me that Ctrl-D should signal end-of-file on OSX. I don't know why it's not working. I've never used a Mac, though. Can anyone who does use OSX share their experience?

It might be Cmd+D (command, the stupid apple thing that basically replaces ctrl).

You didn't copy-paste it correctly.

The warning about the signature not being valid is because you didn't do the lsign stuff that I mentioned in the guide.

That's because your file is wrong.

However how do I actually check the .dmg file that contains the installer is the right one?

If I run:

Code:

gpg --verify bitcoin-0.13.0-osx.dmg

I get:

Code:

gpg: no valid OpenPGP data found.
gpg: the signature could not be verified.
Please remember that the signature file (.sig or .asc)
should be the first file given on the command line.

That's because the files themselves are not pgp signed and do not have any signatures.

Quote from: coin@coin on September 03, 2016, 03:54:59 AM

Because it expects a signature file.

And if I use the file that has the signatures that you can download from https://bitcoin.org/bin/bitcoin-core-0.13.0/SHA256SUMS.asc, I get:

Code:

gpg --verify SHA256SUMS.asc 
gpg: Signature made Tue 23 Aug 15:23:26 2016 BST using RSA key ID 36C2E964
gpg: Good signature from "Wladimir J. van der Laan (Bitcoin Core binary release signing key) " [unknown]

gpg: WARNING: This key is not certified with a trusted signature!
gpg: There is no indication that the signature belongs to the owner.

Doesn't inspire 100% confidence... Maybe that's how it's supposed to come up?

Indeed it is. PGP does not have a centralized trust server. You are supposed to build your own web of trust by trusting other people's keys and setting a trust depth (kinda like the trust system here, minus DT). Since you have not trusted the release key, GPG will warn you that the key is untrusted.

Quote from: coin@coin on September 03, 2016, 03:54:59 AM

So I did run the below first as suggestend in the OP:

Code:

shasum -a 256 bitcoin-0.13.0-osx.dmg

And got the right shasum.

If I have that right together with the last output above from checking the signatures, is that all I need to trust the .dmg file is genuine?

Thanks for the help in advance, this is good learning, and thanks to theymos for the heads up note on top of this forum!

Yes that is all you need to trust that the .dmg is the right file.

Just wondering, why a .torrent file instead of a magnet link? Since the file is stored at Bitcointalk.org, there shouldn't be much difference.

On certain pages, when your session code is in the URL and it would be dangerous to click any external link due to the referer header that would be sent, links are disabled in all bbcode (including the news), and links show up completely expanded. Like:

Quote

Latest stable version of Bitcoin Core: 0.13.0 (https://bitcoin.org/en/download) (New!) [Torrent (https://bitcointalk.org/bitcoin-0.13.0.torrent)]. Make sure you verify it (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1588906.0).

With a magnet link, whenever this happens, a huge chunk of the page would be annoyingly taken up by the full magnet link. It wouldn't be all that hard to fix this, but I decided to just save a bit of time by using a torrent file.

Is it only pre release versions we need to be careful of?

I'm not going to download it until the stable version of 0.13.0 is released - Will that be safe?

As far as I know this is an official release , otherwise It wouldn't be listed here in the first place : https://bitcoin.org/en/download

RC versions are most likely the unstable ones before the official releases as you can see on the Github page :

Next version will be 0.13.1 (with SegWit I suppose) and not 0.13.0

If I were you , I would verify every wallet (including electrum , multibit HD and others) as those could be compromised as well , so you should probably check every release from now on.

What I want to know is, what "State" is sponsoring this malicious attack? Is it China? The USA? I would imagine a collective of countries conversing on this and funding the attackers with Bitcoin, since fiat is so traceable nowadays.

I think he found direct evidence of GFW doing a DNS MITM for bitcoin.org. That to me is the most reasonable and most likely explanation. Sure it could be another state sponsored attack, but all the other major state players just ban it and make it unpopular and whatnot. China's the only one to just implement technical measures first and do other stuff later. I think the GFW got updated to redirect bitcoin.org traffic.

This is of course entirely speculation without any shred of merit.

Can you tell me what GFW is? I may know what it is, but I do not know that acronym. Apologies for my ignorance and thank you for the information.

What does it mean the sentences of "Be extra vigilant when downloading binaries from our website for the upcoming 0.13.0 release". I found on https://bitcoin.org/en/download

what happens with bitcoin core 0.13? why we must be vigilant

Here's the relevant alert issued. It's based on suspicion from what it seems. It's still good to check the integrity of programs you're going to run on your system.
