Hash Identifier
Paste a hash and see which algorithms could have produced it. Hash identification is pattern matching, not proof -- but knowing whether you are looking at MD5, NTLM or bcrypt tells you immediately how a system stores credentials and how urgent an exposure is.
Identification is pure pattern matching in your browser. The hash you paste is never uploaded, logged or cracked.
Why identification matters
- It tells you the exposure severity: leaked MD5 or NTLM password hashes are crackable at scale, bcrypt and Argon2 are not.
- It guides the next investigative step -- which reputation service or which format a forensic tool expects.
- Two algorithms can share a digest length, so treat every result as a candidate rather than a verdict.
Security note
This tool does not crack hashes and never will. If you find real password hashes during an engagement, handle them as sensitive credentials: keep them inside the authorised scope and do not paste them into third-party services.
