Cracking Hashes | Hash Identification
Software to identify the different types of hashes used to encrypt data and especially passwords.
Hashes are commonly used to store sensitive information like credentials to avoid storing them in plaintext. With tools like Hashcat, it's possible to crack these hashes, but only if we know the algorithm used to generate the hash. Using a tool called hash-identifier, we can easily fingerprint any hashes to discover the right Hashcat mode to use to retrieve a password.
Aside from cracking hashes, hash-identifier is also helpful for identifying which hashing algorithm is being used to provide a checksum value for a download. And it can be used to determine what program a hashed file or value may belong to, such as an SQL database or another vendor-specific format.
