Automatic Hash Identifier
Paste a mystery password hash below. We will instantly identify its format and generate the exact CLI commands needed to crack it using Hashcat or John the Ripper.
Why use a Hash Identifier?
During penetration testing or CTF challenges, you often discover dumped password hashes without knowing what algorithm generated them. A 32-character hexadecimal string could be MD5, NTLM, MD4, or LM. Our tool uses static regex heuristics to analyze the structure, length, and signature of the hash to provide you with the most likely candidates.
Supported Hash Types
This tool instantly detects and maps over 380+ formats to their specific Hashcat (`-m` modes) and John the Ripper (`--format`) arguments, including:
- MD5, NTLM, LM (Mode 0, 1000, 3000)
- SHA1, SHA256, SHA512 (Mode 100, 1400, 1700)
- Bcrypt (Mode 3200)
- MD5Crypt / Cisco-IOS (Mode 500)
- SHA256Crypt & SHA512Crypt (Mode 7400, 1800)
- MySQL (Mode 300)
