Use some checksum / m5 lua libraries, there is some on github

https://github.com/kikito/md5.lua

https://github.com/philanc/plc/tree/master/plc

I didn't tets it but the main idea is that it will output a unique string from a file,
so if two files are two different, it will output diffeent strings.

You only need to make a string comparison based on that.
