InstallESD.dmg checksum post-certificate-change

I downloaded Mavericks off of the App Store and would like to know what the md5 and sha1 checksums are for the InstallESD.dmg; they used to be available on the web but not since the certificate change in Feb. My results are posted below. Thanks.


md5: aa6fcb8ee230ab771f1a26e33716f56d

sha1: 73cdd9440fe5efa79763f5461ec4ad9a59cdd1df

I don't know. But as far as I can tell, it isn't really important. The installer checks its own integrity: How to verify the authenticity of manually downloaded Apple software updates - Apple Support


"The installer automatically verifies the files in the package. If any file has an issue, installation stops without changes to your system, and you'll see a message that the installer encountered an error."
