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

Honestly, do you need any more convincing? 😂
But, let's look at the features more in-depth.
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 😎
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.
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.
We're also in:
- 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.

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 🐱👤
