Monero Core consists of several applications, including bitmonerod (the daemon used if running a @full-node, as it maintains the connection to the Monero network) and simplewallet (a Monero @account manager application), as well as several other helper applications.
Note: the SHA hashes are listed by the downloads for convenience, but a GPG-signed list of the hashes is at [getmonero.org/downloads/hashes.txt](https://getmonero.org/downloads/hashes.txt) and should be treated as canonical, with the signature checked against the appropriate GPG key in the source code (in /utils/gpg_keys).
