Hi Neil, if the file offset does not match, the chances that the checksum would match, especially sha256, is almost 0.
May be I am missing something. Let's say I have a file that contains 11 letters - ABCDEFGHIJK. Let's say the block size is 5. For the first file, the block contents are "ABCDE," "FGHIJ", and "K." For the second file, let's say the blocks are " ABCD", "EFGHI", and "JK." The chance that any checksum would match is very less. The chance that any "checksum+verify" would match is even less.
