Hash-identifier to the rescue

We have learned how to identify some common hash types. But there are other hashes as well! In this recipe, we will learn how to identify other hashes during our pentesting project.

How to do it...

Let's perform the following steps:

1. Kali comes pre-installed with a tool called hash identifier. To start the tool, we use the following command:

hash-identifier

Once we run the preceding command, we get the following output:

2. Now all we need to do is paste the hash we found here, and it will show us the type:

Let's see how to perform a brute force attack in the next recipe.
