One-way transformations

Hash Tools

Generate message digests and identify likely hash formats. Hashes are one-way; there is no such thing as a legitimate “hash decoder.”

Hash generator

Create a fixed-length digest from text.

#

Hash identifier

Guess likely types from length and character pattern.

?

Possible formats will appear here.

Salts

A unique random salt makes identical passwords produce different hashes and frustrates precomputed attacks.

Collision resistance

It should be computationally impractical to find two different inputs with the same digest.

Preimage resistance

Given a digest, finding any original input that produced it should be impractical.

Password storage

Use dedicated, slow password hashing functions such as Argon2id, scrypt, bcrypt, or PBKDF2—not a fast general-purpose hash alone.

Weak algorithms

MD5 and SHA-1 have practical collision weaknesses and should not protect signatures, certificates, or other security-sensitive data. They remain here for compatibility and recognition exercises.
