Hash Utilities

Identify Hash

Analyzes hash strings to identify their likely algorithm based on length and format patterns. Available via MCP in Cursor and other AI coding tools, or REST at GET /v1/hash/identify. Input a hash like "5d41402abc4b2a76b9719d911017c592" and get back "MD5" with confidence indicators. Supports 20+ common algorithms including SHA variants, MD5, bcrypt, and others.

API Endpoint

  headers: { 'X-API-Key': 'YOUR_API_KEY' }
});
const data = await response.json();
console.log(data);
import requests

response = requests.get('https://tinyfn.io/v1/hash/identify',
    headers={'X-API-Key': 'YOUR_API_KEY'})
data = response.json()
print(data)

FAQ

What hash algorithms can TinyFn identify?

Supports MD5, SHA-1, SHA-256, SHA-512, bcrypt, scrypt, PBKDF2, Argon2, CRC32, and other common algorithms. Identification is based on length, character set, and format patterns.

How does hash identification work with MCP in AI coding assistants?

Your AI agent can analyze unknown hashes in code or data by calling the identify tool automatically. Useful for security audits, legacy code analysis, or when reverse-engineering systems.

Can it identify salted or custom hash formats?

Identifies standard formats only. Custom implementations, salted hashes with non-standard formatting, or proprietary algorithms won't be recognized reliably.

What's the difference between hash identification and hash verification?

Identification determines the algorithm used to create a hash. Verification checks if plaintext matches a hash. This tool only does identification—it can't crack or verify hashes.

How accurate is the hash algorithm detection?

Very reliable for standard formats. Returns confidence levels and may suggest multiple possibilities for ambiguous cases like SHA-256 vs other 64-character hex strings.
