What is Hash Identifier?

Identify unknown hash types by format, length, and prefix. Supports 40+ hash types including MD5, SHA, bcrypt, and Argon2.

FAQ

How does hash identification work?
The tool analyzes three characteristics: length (32 chars = MD5, 64 = SHA-256), character set (hex vs base64), and prefix ($2y$ = bcrypt).
Can it identify salted hashes?
Partially. Salted hashes look like unsalted ones in format. The tool identifies the algorithm but can't detect if a salt was used.
