Hash Identifier

Identify unknown hash strings instantly. This tool analyzes the format, length, and character set of a hash to determine the likely algorithm used to generate it, supporting MD5, SHA families, Bcrypt, and more.

🚀 Why Use Hash Identifier?

In cybersecurity and digital forensics, identifying the type of hash is the first step toward understanding how data was protected or identifying potential vulnerabilities. Hash Identifier provides a fast, client-side solution for security professionals and developers.

Security & Privacy

  • 100% Client-Side: All identification logic runs in your browser. Your hash strings are never sent to our servers.
  • No Data Logging: We do not store or track any inputs or results.
  • Instant Analysis: Real-time detection as you type or paste.

🛠️ Key Features

  • Broad Algorithm Support: Detects everything from legacy MD4/MD5 to modern SHA-3 and Bcrypt.
  • Confidence Scoring: Provides High, Medium, or Low confidence ratings based on the uniqueness of the hash format.
  • Format Detection: Recognizes Hexadecimal, Base64, and specific Unix crypt formats (e.g., $1$, $5$, $6$).
  • Length Tracking: Automatically displays the character count of the input string to aid manual analysis.
  • Clean Interface: A focused, distraction-free environment for rapid analysis.

📋 Supported Algorithms

The tool can identify a wide range of algorithms, including:

  • MD Family: MD4, MD5 (Hex & Base64), MD5-Crypt ($1$)
  • SHA Family: SHA-1, SHA-224, SHA-256, SHA-384, SHA-512
  • SHA-3 Family: SHA3-256, SHA3-384, SHA3-512
  • Unix Crypt Formats: MD5-Crypt ($1$), SHA-256 Crypt ($5$), SHA-512 Crypt ($6$)
  • Password Hashes: Bcrypt ($2a$, $2b$, $2y$), NTLM, MySQL5
  • Specialized Hashes: RIPEMD-128, RIPEMD-160, Whirlpool, GOST

📖 How to Use

  1. Access the Tool: Navigate to the Hash Identifier page.
  2. Input Your Hash: Paste the unknown hash string into the "Hash String" input field.
  3. Review Results: The tool will instantly display a list of potential matches.
  4. Analyze Confidence: Look at the confidence level (High, Medium, Low) to determine the most likely algorithm.
  5. Clear & Repeat: Use the "Clear" button to reset the input for your next analysis.
