## What it is
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
