You can compute the value of the file to conduct file-based reputation checks and further your analysis. As shown below, you can use the sha256sum tool/utility to calculate the file's hash value. 
**Note:** Remember to navigate to the file's location before attempting to calculate the file's hash value.
```shell-session
user@ubuntu$ sha256sum file.something
0827bb9a....
```
