How identification works

This tool inspects four signals - length, charset (hex / base64 / printable), structural prefix (e.g. $2a$ for bcrypt, $6$ for SHA-512crypt, $argon2 for Argon2), and known anchor patterns (e.g. aad3b435b51404eeaad3b435b51404ee = empty-LM). It scores every candidate hash type against the input and returns the top 3 with confidence scores.

Identification is heuristic - a 32-character hex string could be MD5, MD4, MD2, NTLM, or a Haval-128. Length alone is not enough. Use the algorithm spec link to confirm.

Note: This tool only identifies hash types - it does not crack hashes. For online hash cracking, use a dedicated cluster like Hashcat or John the Ripper. CyberTools is 100% client-side and never sends your hash anywhere.
