Is this hash a valid kernel32.dll?68fa9209563cd30dc7a96419822084761a3726645ee150716887c4a0b9b135af

Please help me verify if this hash 68fa9209563cd30dc7a96419822084761a3726645ee150716887c4a0b9b135af is an authentic kernel32.dll. I see on WinBinDex that this DLL exists, but is that reliable? The file size is only 149kb. the system32 folder has a kernel32legacy.dll and the forwarder folder (inside the system32) contains this kernel32.dll. This is part of a nano server which hash a forwarder folder in the system32 and the kernel32.dll is located in the forwarders folder. The kernel32.dll is 149kb, is this authentic?

This was done, I was more wondering if that exact hash is apart of Windows Services Updates. I could not find te exact file by itself anywhere on the internet. That's why I need information from Microsoft if this hash is within their packages. Specifically for Windows 19 Server

Hi,

You can run System File Checker to check for integrity violations and repair the corrupted system files on your computer. To run System File Checker, open CMD as administrator and type

sfc /scannow

This will scan all protected system files and replace incorrect versions with correct Microsoft versions.

Best Regards,

Ian Xue
