CoreSpade is not code-signed by Microsoft yet, so Windows will show a warning when you start the installer.
If you prefer PowerShell: Get-FileHash .\CoreSpade_Setup.exe
Every installer comes with a signature file. It is made with a key that is kept offline and never stored on the web server, so a file swapped on the server cannot carry a valid signature. CoreSpade checks this signature itself before it offers you an update.
Key fingerprint:
SHA256:0kq6rpGmAVknbdxc7wer1ROgGzA/uOC+TLSoS+0x7T8
The same fingerprint is pinned in our Discord announcements channel; both should match.
Check it yourself
Save the installer, its signature and our public key in one folder. Open a command prompt in that folder (not PowerShell) and run:
ssh-keygen -Y verify -f corespade_allowed_signers.txt -I release@corespade.app -n corespade-release -s CoreSpade_Setup.exe.sig < CoreSpade_Setup.exe
The answer starts with Good "corespade-release" signature. The tool is part of Windows 10 and 11.
Pre-alpha
CoreSpade is in a closed pre-alpha. The download opens with the alpha; until then this page shows the current build and its checksum so the two can be compared later.

One place to get it
This page is the only place the CoreSpade installer is published. We do not send installers as email attachments or in direct messages, and support will not ask for remote access to your computer. If someone offers you a copy of CoreSpade any other way, please do not run it and forward the message to [email protected].
Updates are yours to start
When a new version is out, CoreSpade tells you. If you choose to update, it downloads the installer and checks its signature with our release key, which is built into CoreSpade. Only a file that passes is offered for installation, and nothing is installed until you confirm.
Installed where only administrators can write
The installer asks for administrator rights and places CoreSpade in Program Files. Only administrators can change the files there, so a program without administrator rights cannot replace CoreSpade or any part of it.

Safe & Secure
CoreSpade reads the state of your tables and decides nothing on your behalf. See the compliance page for what it does on each network. It also includes an optional Safety Assistant that closes prohibited third-party tools while you play.
