Use hash tooling only for credentials and systems you own or are explicitly authorized to audit. Identifying a format does not grant permission to recover the value behind it.

Six hash families, more than 100 formats

One paste is enough. Every line is matched against the prefixes, lengths and character sets used by the formats you meet in real credential exports.

Raw digests

MD4, MD5, SHA-1, the SHA-2 family, SHA-3, RIPEMD and other fixed-length hexadecimal or Base64 digests.

Modern password hashes

Bcrypt, scrypt and Argon2 values, including the variant, version, memory, iteration and parallelism settings they embed.

Unix crypt formats

Traditional DES crypt, MD5-crypt and SHA-256 or SHA-512 crypt entries as they appear in shadow files.

Application and CMS hashes

WordPress phpass, Django PBKDF2, Drupal, Joomla and similar framework formats with salts and iteration counts.

Database hashes

MySQL, MSSQL, Oracle and PostgreSQL authentication values, recognized by their typical prefixes and lengths.

Network and checksum values

LDAP, Kerberos and NetNTLM authentication captures next to CRC and other short checksum formats.

Private by design

A hash identifier that never sees your values

No account, no upload and no database lookup—only local format analysis in your own browser tab.

100%

Local processing

Every hash is analyzed by your browser. Nothing is uploaded to DorkPlus and no value is sent to an external service.

How to identify a hash type

A hash identifier compares a value with the syntax used by known algorithms and applications. It narrows the possibilities from visible evidence—length, allowed characters, separators, prefixes, embedded cost parameters and salt structure.

01

Paste one hash per line

Analyze a single value or an entire list. Duplicate and empty lines are removed automatically and every remaining line is examined on its own.

02

Let the rules…759 tokens truncated… no upload and no request to the domains you paste—only text processing in your own browser tab.

Each value is measured by length, character set, separators and known prefixes. Structured formats are recognized by their markers, including embedded cost parameters and salts.

Compare the ranked candidates

Results are ordered by confidence. A high label means the format carries an unambiguous marker, while raw hexadecimal digests return several realistic candidates because MD5, NTLM and MD4 share the same visible shape.

04

Copy a format code or export the set

Copy the hashcat mode or John the Ripper format for a candidate, export one hash type as TXT, or download an organized ZIP. Verify the candidate against the application, database or export that produced the value before any authorized audit.

Why it matters

Why one hash can match several algorithms

Raw hexadecimal hashes are the most ambiguous values you can be handed. A 32-character hexadecimal string is commonly MD5, but NTLM and MD4 have exactly the same visible shape. Without information about the source system, no identifier can separate those algorithms from the digest alone.

Structured password hashes provide stronger clues. Bcrypt starts with prefixes such as $2b$, while Argon2 embeds its variant, version, memory, iteration and parallelism settings. Unix crypt, WordPress phpass, Django PBKDF2, database formats and network captures also carry recognizable markers.

  • Several realistic candidates instead of one invented answer
  • Confidence labels, so ambiguity stays visible
  • hashcat and John references for authorized recovery

Common use cases

Authorized password audits

Pick the right hashcat mode before an approved recovery run.

Incident response triage

Classify credential material found in an investigation export.

Application security review

Check which hashing scheme an application actually stores.

CTF and training labs

Recognize a challenge value without guessing the algorithm.

Hash identifier questions

Understand what format detection can and cannot tell you.
