Signal	Finding	Points
SHA-256 hash published	2 of 2 installers ship a SHA-256 hashWithout a published hash there is no way to prove the file you downloaded is the file the publisher built.	30 / 30
Binary provenance	2 on the publisher's own domainThe strongest signal against a repackaged installer: the file should come from the publisher, not from a mirror nobody vouches for.	35 / 35
Served over HTTPS	2 of 2 over HTTPSAn installer fetched over plain HTTP can be modified in transit.	15 / 15
Licence declared	Proprietary (Freeware)A declared licence tells you what you are actually allowed to do with the software.	5 / 5
