Answer by ibft2 for Does an identical cryptographic hash or checksum for two files mean they are identical?

The files are probably identical if their hashes are identical. You can increase confidence by modifying both files in an identical way (e.g. put the same value in the same unused cell) then comparing hashes of the modified files. It is hard to create a deliberate collision for a file which is changed in a way not known in advance.
