How to identify a random Hash? - doubler - 12-01-2014
I've been doing some hashing using some of the archived crack me if you can contests files. It's led me to wonder how it is possible to identify a random hash as a certain algorithm? I've found a few scripts online to help, but other than a few algorithms they help identify, even then its not 100% reliable. I was wondering if theres any tutorials or guidelines for identifying a hash other than process of elimination and luck?

Thanks for the link, guess i'll keep tinkering with it in my free time. by the way I loved the 25 gpu cluster you did in 2012. Definitely got a whoa out of me.

Thanks! But 25 GPUs is mere child's play compared to what we have now

Really can't decide if your response its awesome or scarey lol. I can only imagine with the hashtopus now in play. A lot more practical than the VCL clustering plus you don't need the expensive infinity band equipment. Is there anyway for a new guy to get involved in this project, outside of the coding ?

We don't use Hashtopus, we developed Sagitta Hashstack.

not an open source tool I take it?

no, commercial

Looks like you guys did a good job. Little out of my price range though, broke college student lol. Pretty much stuck with whatever I have left over from mining at the moment.
