hashID is a Python CLI tool that identifies over 220 hash types using regular expressions, working on single hashes, files, or directories. It can also output the corresponding hashcat mode and JohnTheRipper format for identified hashes.

Use cases

• identify what type of hash this string is
• detect hash algorithm from a password dump
• find the hashcat mode for a hash
• identify hashes in a file of leaked credentials
• determine JohnTheRipper format for a hash
• identify md5 vs sha1 vs bcrypt hashes

When to choose

• you need to identify an unknown hash type before cracking it
• you want hashcat or JohnTheRipper mode suggestions in the same output
• you need to scan many files or a directory for hashes
• you want a lightweight cross-platform Python tool with no dependencies

When to avoid

• you need to actually crack or reverse hashes rather than identify them
• you require guaranteed accuracy - regex matching can produce false positives
• you need actively maintained software with recent updates
• you need a GUI or web interface
