Is it possible to get a file without knowing file hash





.everyoneloves__top-leaderboard:empty,.everyoneloves__mid-leaderboard:empty,.everyoneloves__bot-mid-leaderboard:empty{ height:90px;width:728px;box-sizing:border-box;
}

I read some articles about how to protect files with encryption on the ipfs network. If i understand ipfs correctly, without knowing file hash you can not get file on ipfs network(maybe i am wrong).



My question



Is it possible to get a file without knowing file hash? If not why we need to encrypt files on the network(i assume that file hash is known by only file owner)?

  • I think since data exist on your disk (non-encrypted) you can make it lisible. (something like disk dump)
