Answers to Questions (FAQ)
What is a Hash identifier? (Definition)
A hash identifier is a tool that allows you to recognize the type of hash from a list of known hash functions. Given an unknown hash, the identifier determines which hash function was likely used to generate it.
There are hundreds of hashing algorithms, the majority return a hash as a number, usually stored in hexadecimal format. But the length of this number, some additional characters or the format of the final string allows to recognize what type of algorithm was used.
How to use the Hash identifier?
Indicate the character string that serves as a fingerprint. Take care not to add unnecessary elements, such as a space or a stop at the end, as these irrelevant characters could confuse the detector.
Example: e9837d47b610ee29399831f917791a44 is a hash of the MD5 algorithm (32 hexadecimal characters)
Sometimes there are many other algorithms that have the same hash format, impossible to know which function was used without testing them all.
How to decrypt the Hash once identified?
How to does the hash identifier works?
The identifier compares the unknown hash to hash patterns generated by different hash functions. Depending on the length of the hash and the alphanumeric format, it can deduce which function most likely matches.
The identifier uses a database of over 400 hash algorithm formats called Haiti. This database was developed by Orange Cyberdefense here (MIT License) and maintained by noraj.
