About:
Haiti is a command-line tool that identifies hash types from a given string or file. It analyzes the input to determine the most likely cryptographic hash algorithm, supporting over 400 different hash types. This utility is essential for security professionals and CTF participants who need to quickly identify unknown hash formats for further analysis or cracking attempts.
Key Features:
  • Supports identification of over 400 hash types
  • Can analyze strings, files, or clipboard content
  • Provides example hashes for each identified type
  • Offers colorized output for better readability
Use Cases:
  • Identifying unknown hash formats during a security audit or penetration test
  • Solving Capture The Flag (CTF) challenges that involve cryptography
  • Verifying hash types before using cracking tools like Hashcat or John the Ripper
Alternatives:
  • hash-identifier – Haiti is a more modern, actively maintained alternative with a larger hash database and better output formatting.
  • Name-That-Hash – Similar functionality, but Haiti is often preferred for its comprehensive list and ease of use in a terminal environment.
