Name That Hash is a Python CLI tool and web app that identifies the type of an unknown hash string, supporting 300+ hash types like MD5 and SHA256. It ranks results by popularity, provides hash summaries, and offers JSON output and a Python API for integration.

Use cases

• identify what type of hash this string is
• figure out if a hash is MD5 or NTLM
• find hashcat mode for a hash
• identify hashes during CTF challenges
• integrate hash identification into a Python script
• get JSON output of hash type candidates

When to choose

• you found an unknown hash and need to identify its type quickly
• you want popularity-ranked results with hash summaries and cracking tool hints
• you need a programmable hash identifier with JSON/API output
• you want a maintained alternative to HashID or hash-identifier

When to avoid

• you need to crack or reverse the hash, not just identify it
• you need guaranteed identification of obscure or custom hash formats
• you need a GUI desktop application
