haiti

Hash type identifier for the command line

TLDR

Identify the type of a hash

$ haiti [hash_string]

Identify hash type with extended algorithms including salted variants

$ haiti -e [hash_string]

Identify hash from stdin

$ echo "[hash_string]" | haiti -

Show short output without hashcat/john references

$ haiti --short [hash_string]

Disable colorized output

$ haiti --no-color [hash_string]

SYNOPSIS

haiti [-e|--extended] [--short] [--no-color] hash

HAITI (HAsh IdenTifIer) is a command-line tool and library for identifying the type of a given hash. It detects over 675 hash types including modern algorithms like SHA3, Keccak, Blake2, and many application-specific formats. For each identified hash type, it provides the corresponding Hashcat mode number and John the Ripper format name, making it easy to proceed with hash cracking.HAITI analyzes the hash length, character set, and format to narrow down possible algorithms, presenting results ranked by likelihood.

PARAMETERS

-e, --extended

List all possible hash algorithms including ones using salt

--short

Display short format without hashcat and John the Ripper references

--no-color

Disable colorized output

--hashcat-only

Show only hashcat references

--john-only

Show only John the Ripper references

-h, --help

Print help

-V, --version

Print version

INSTALL

brew install haiti

nix profile install nixpkgs#haiti

CAVEATS

Hash identification is probabilistic — many hash types produce output of identical length and character set, so HAITI typically returns multiple possible matches. It cannot definitively determine the exact algorithm without additional context. Requires Ruby runtime for installation.

HISTORY

HAITI was created by Alexandre ZANNI (noraj) and is written in Ruby. It was developed as a modern replacement for older hash identification tools, with a focus on supporting the latest algorithms and providing direct references to cracking tools. It is available in Kali Linux and other security-focused distributions.
