Software to identify the different types of hashes -

Quick Overview

Name-That-Hash is a modern hash identification tool written in Python. It can identify over 300 hash types quickly and accurately, making it an essential tool for cybersecurity professionals, CTF players, and anyone working with hashes.

Pros

Fast and accurate hash identification
Supports a wide range of hash types (300+)
User-friendly command-line interface and Python API
Actively maintained and regularly updated

Cons

May occasionally misidentify similar hash types
Requires Python 3.6+ to run
Limited functionality compared to more comprehensive hash cracking tools
Not suitable for actual hash cracking, only identification

Code Examples

Identifying a single hash:

from name_that_hash import runner

hash_to_identify = "5f4dcc3b5aa765d61d8327deb882cf99"
result = runner.api_return_hashes_as_json([hash_to_identify])
print(result)

Identifying multiple hashes:

from name_that_hash import runner

hashes = ["5f4dcc3b5aa765d61d8327deb882cf99", "098f6bcd4621d373cade4e832627b4f6"]
results = runner.api_return_hashes_as_json(hashes)
for hash_result in results:
    print(hash_result)

Using the command-line interface:

nth -t "5f4dcc3b5aa765d61d8327deb882cf99"

Getting Started

To get started with Name-That-Hash, follow these steps:

Install the library using pip:
```
pip install name-that-hash
```
Import the library in your Python script:
```
from name_that_hash import runner
```

Use the api_return_hashes_as_json function to identify hashes:

hash_to_identify = "5f4dcc3b5aa765d61d8327deb882cf99"
result = runner.api_return_hashes_as_json([hash_to_identify])
print(result)

Alternatively, you can use the command-line interface by running nth followed by your options and the hash to identify.

Pros of hashID

Lightweight and simple to use
Supports a wide range of hash types
Can be easily integrated into other scripts

Cons of hashID

Less actively maintained (last update in 2019)
Limited features compared to more modern alternatives
Command-line interface may be less user-friendly for some users

Code Comparison

Name-That-Hash:

from name_that_hash import runner
runner.api_return_hashes_as_dict(["5f4dcc3b5aa765d61d8327deb882cf99"])

hashID:

from hashid import HashID
hashid = HashID()
hashid.identifyHash("5f4dcc3b5aa765d61d8327deb882cf99")

Summary

While hashID is a lightweight and simple tool for hash identification, Name-That-Hash offers a more modern and feature-rich alternative. Name-That-Hash has a more active development community, a user-friendly interface, and additional functionalities like JSON output and integration with other tools. However, hashID's simplicity and ease of integration may still make it a viable option for certain use cases or legacy systems.

ð¤ What is this?

Have you ever come across a hash such as 5f4dcc3b5aa765d61d8327deb882cf99 and wondered what type of hash that is? ð¤

Name-that-hash will name that hash type!

ð¥ Features

ðº Popularity Ratings - Name that hash will show you the most popular hashes first. In older systems it would prioritise Skype Hash the same as Active Directory's NTLM! Which makes as much sense as saying that my GitHub is as popular as VSCode ð
â Hash Summaries - no more wondering whether it's MD5 or NTLM. Name-that-hash will summarise the main usage of each hash, allowing you to make an informed & decisive choice â¡
ð Colour Output - Don't worry, the colours were hand-selected with a designer to be 100% accessible and gnarly ð
ð¤ JSON output && API - Want to use Name-That-Hash in your project? We are API first, CLI second. Use JSON output or import us as a Python module! ð¾
ðµ Updated! - HashID was last updated in 2015. Hash-Identifier in 2011! Name-That-Hash is a 2021 project ð¦§
â¿ Accessible - We are 100% committed to making this an accessible hacking tool ð
ð« Extensible - Add new hashes as quickly as you can edit this README. No, seriously -- it's that easy! ð±

ð¥ Name-That-Hash vs HashID vs Hash-Identifier

Features	Name-That-Hash	HashID	Hash-Identifier
Last updated	2021, check commits.	17/03/2015	30/09/2011

Honestly, do you need any more convincing? ð

But, let's look at the features more in-depth.

ð Feature Comparison

Name-that-hash proudly displays the most likely hash types

Here HashID displays Skype before NTLM, whereas Name-That-Hash understands popularity of hashes so places NTLM before Skype.

ð You can also see Name-That-Hash displaying a summary, whereas HashID doesn't. In the default view it also displays John + HashCat information. Because let's face it, the only reason you're using this tool is to figure out what to put into HashCat! ð±âð

Name-That-Hash is radically different from HashID, I'm not going to list all the differences -- you can physically see them yourselves ð

ð Accessibility

Name-That-Hash is an accessible hacking tool. That means we spent time designing things, such as....

No long text or ascii art here

Removing the ASCII Art of very long "least likely" text blocks using --accessible.

Doing this means you don't get access to least likely, and if the hash is in that pile it'd suck. So we also have --no-banner.

Which removes the ASCII art banner.

ð¨ Installation

Easy Mode Use our web app at https://nth.skerritt.blog.

You can install using Python's Pip.

pip3 install name-that-hash

or:

pip install name-that-hash

And then run:

nth

To use.

â± Fun Facts

We have a test-matrix which makes sure all of our hashes are up-to-date, including the HashCat mode and John the Ripper modes!
Unlike other hash identifiers which identify non-hashes, we have removed these so you'll only get real hashes (base64 who?)
Each and every hash is tested multiple times, for both false positives and true positives. No mistakes here!
There is a magical lamp that summons a genie somewhere in the source code.

ð Thanks

Many thanks to Jabba & Jayyy for their help :)

Thanks to HashID and Hash-Identifier for their work in this field, which heavily inspired this. ð The database of hashes was originally taken from them, but we've significantly modified it. Thank you so much for creating that database of 3000+ hashes ð»

Thanks to the TryHackMe Community too, and especially Oriel for her feedback on early versions.

And special thanks to Varg on his masterful understanding of colour theory ð

Finally, thanks too Blackout for helping write descriptions of hashes ð±âð¤
