Go Detect that Hash!

Go Detect that Hash (gdth) is a hash detector written in Go.

You input a hash string and it will output the potential algorithm(s) used when hashing the input string according to our rules.go file. The matching is done by utilizing RegEx.

Why?

Most of the popular hash detection/identifier tools are written in Python. So, we wanted to take a different approach and write it in Go!

Installation

To install the gdth tool:

go install github.com/ArmanHZ/go-detect-that-hash/cmd/gdth@latest

To install the repository as a module:

go install github.com/ArmanHZ/go-detect-that-hash@latest

You can also change the latest part above to install any specific version you want. E.g. v1.0.1.

Usage

We currently don't have a -h support, but we will add it sometime soon™

In the meantime, to build the project:

git pull https://github.com/ArmanHZ/go-detect-that-hash
go build cmd/gdth/gdth.go

# After building
./gdth <input_hash>

# Alternatively, without building
go run cmd/gdth/gdth.go <input_hash>

The output has 4 fields:

• Name: Name of the Hashing algorithm used
• HashCat: HashCat ID for the hash when you want to use HashCat to crack the hash
• John: John ID similar to HashCat ID
• Is extended: Is the Hash salted or not

Example

echo 'gdth' | sha256sum

Usage as a library

package main

import (
  "fmt"

  gdth "github.com/ArmanHZ/go-detect-that-hash"
)

func main() {
  results := gdth.Detect("127e6fbfe24a750e72930c220a8e138275656b8e5d8f48a98c3c92df2caba935")
  fmt.Println(results)
}

TODO

• Flag for csv output for potentially piping the output with other tools
• Add easy install via Go cmd tool
• Cleanup the code and fix some bugs (never ending task)
• Prettier output and colors using custom table printing functions
• Add command line argument parser
• Let the user to print only certain columns of the output. E.g. Name only
• Unit testing

Later down the line stuff

• Print out analysis and sort the output by the likelyhood of the algorithm used in hashing
