Hash Identifier analyzes, generates, and looks up cryptographic hashes. Identify 30+ hash types by pattern and length including MD5, SHA family, bcrypt, Argon2, NTLM, and Unix crypt variants. Generate hashes from plaintext, compute file checksums (MD5/SHA-1/SHA-256/SHA-512), check hashes against Nitrxgen and HaveIBeenPwned databases, and get VirusTotal links.

Quick Start
# 1. Extract the zip and enter the folder cd 19-Hash-Identifier
This tool identifies 30+ hash types (MD5, SHA-1, SHA-256, bcrypt, NTLM, and more), generates hashes, computes file checksums, and checks against breach databases. Hash-based verification is a core procedure in NIST SP 800-86 (Guide to Integrating Forensic Techniques into Incident Response).
Hash Security Context
NIST deprecated SHA-1 in 2011 and recommends SHA-256 or SHA-3 per NIST SP 800-131A Rev. 2. According to Hashcat benchmarks, a modern GPU computes over 60 billion MD5 hashes per second, making unsalted MD5 trivially crackable. This tool identifies algorithms and assesses strength.
Breach and Malware Lookup
Have I Been Pwned's Pwned Passwords contains over 900 million compromised passwords. VirusTotal's database covers 3+ billion analyzed files for instant malware identification — recommended by SANS FOR610 (Reverse-Engineering Malware).
#️⃣ Hash Identifier — Frequently Asked Questions
How does hash type identification work?
Hash types are identified by their length and character set. MD5 produces 32 hex characters, SHA-1 produces 40, SHA-256 produces 64, and so on. The tool matches input against known hash format patterns to identify the most likely algorithm.
Does the hash identification tool require installation?
No. The tool runs entirely in your browser using client-side Python via Pyodide. No installation, API keys, or server-side processing required. Your queries are executed locally for maximum privacy.
What can I do with the hash identification tool?
You can detect hash types, look up known values, and cross-reference threat databases. The tool provides a clean interface with exportable results and cross-links to related Max Intel tools for deeper investigation.
