The Modern Hash Identification System
pip3 install name-that-hash && nth
Web App with no install needed

What is this

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

Name-that-hash will name that hash type!

Features

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
✍
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
⚡
Colour Output – Don’t worry, the colours were hand-selected with a designer to be 100% accessible and gnarly
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!
Updated! – HashID was last updated in 2015. Hash-Identifier in 2011! Name-That-Hash is a 2021 project
♿
Accessible – We are 100% committed to making this an accessible hacking tool
Extensible – Add new hashes as quickly as you can edit this README. No, seriously — it’s that easy!

Name-That-Hash vs HashID vs Hash-Identifier

Honestly, do you need any more convincing

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

Feature Comparison

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

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! ‍

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

Accessibility

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

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.

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:

To use.

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.
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

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

Finally, thanks too Blackout for helping write descriptions of hashes ‍
