Download & Verification
The only official source for TraceWall Desktop installers is https://download.trace-wall.com/.
Do not download from mirrors, file-sharing sites, or third-party repositories. The project does not publish to Chocolatey, Winget, Scoop, Homebrew, Snap, Flatpak, or any community package manager.
Current Release
| Platform | Architecture | Format | Version | Size | SHA-256 | Status |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Windows 10/11/Server | x64 | .exe (NSIS) | — | — | — | Not yet published |
| Debian / Ubuntu | amd64 | .deb | — | — | — | Not yet published |
How to Download
- Open https://download.trace-wall.com/ in a browser.
- Locate the current stable release (not a pre-release, beta, or release candidate unless explicitly directed by support).
- Click the download link for your platform.
- Save the file to a known location (e.g.,
~/DownloadsorC:\Users\<user>\Downloads).
Verifying Integrity
Always verify the SHA-256 checksum before running any installer.
Windows
PowerShell (recommended):
Get-FileHash ".\TraceWall-Desktop-V3-x.x.x-Setup.exe" -Algorithm SHA256Command Prompt:
certutil -hashfile "TraceWall-Desktop-V3-x.x.x-Setup.exe" SHA256Linux / macOS
sha256sum TraceWall-Desktop-V3-x.x.x_amd64.deb# orshasum -a 256 TraceWall-Desktop-V3-x.x.x_amd64.debCompare
Compare the output character-by-character with the checksum published on:
- The download page (https://download.trace-wall.com/)
- The release notes (https://docs.trace-wall.com/releases/changelog)
- The signed checksum file (
.sha256) if provided alongside the installer
Verifying the Download Source
Before verifying the checksum, confirm you are on the official domain:
- URL:
https://download.trace-wall.com/ - TLS Certificate: Valid certificate for
download.trace-wall.com(issued by a public CA) - No redirects through unrelated domains
- Content-Type:
application/octet-streamorapplication/x-msdownloadfor.exe,application/vnd.debian.binary-packagefor.deb
If the browser shows a certificate warning, or the URL differs (e.g., download.tracewall.com, trace-wall-download.com, cdn.example.com/tracewall), stop and report it.
Code Signing Status
The Windows installer (.exe) is not currently signed with a commercial code-signing certificate recognized by Microsoft SmartScreen.
What This Means
- SmartScreen will likely warn on first run: “Windows protected your PC. Microsoft Defender SmartScreen prevented an unrecognized app from starting.”
- This is expected behavior for new, unsigned installers.
- It does not mean the file is malicious.
How to Respond to SmartScreen
- Click “More info” (not “Run anyway” immediately).
- Verify the publisher shows “Unknown publisher” or the expected organization name once a certificate is obtained.
- Verify the file name matches the official release.
- Verify the SHA-256 checksum (see above).
- Only after confirming the checksum matches, click “Run anyway”.
Linux Package Verification (.deb)
In addition to SHA-256, the Debian package can be inspected:
# Show package metadatadpkg -I TraceWall-Desktop-V3-x.x.x_amd64.deb
# List contents without extractingdpkg -c TraceWall-Desktop-V3-x.x.x_amd64.deb
# Verify embedded checksums (if provided in DEBIAN/md5sums or DEBIAN/sha256sums)dpkg-sig --verify TraceWall-Desktop-V3-x.x.x_amd64.debThe .deb is not currently signed with a PGP key. Verification relies on SHA-256 from the official download page.
Automated Verification (CI/CD)
For internal distribution, script the verification:
#!/usr/bin/env bashset -euo pipefail
INSTALLER="TraceWall-Desktop-V3-3.0.0-Setup.exe"EXPECTED_SHA256="a1b2c3d4e5f6..." # From release notes
actual=$(sha256sum "$INSTALLER" | awk '{print $1}')if [[ "$actual" != "$EXPECTED_SHA256" ]]; then echo "CHECKSUM MISMATCH" echo "Expected: $EXPECTED_SHA256" echo "Actual: $actual" exit 1fiecho "Checksum OK"Reporting Issues
- Checksum mismatch: soporte@trace-wall.com (include file name, size, actual checksum, download time, browser, network)
- Suspicious domain / phishing: seguridad@trace-wall.com
- SmartScreen false positive (after verification): Report via Windows Feedback Hub and notify TraceWall support
