hashid: Show all possible hash types (including salted hashes).
$ hashid --extended ${hash}

The command "hashid --extended ${hash}" is commonly used to identify the type of hash algorithm used in a given hash value.
Here's a breakdown of the command:
- "hashid" is the name of the command-line tool used for hash identification.
- "--extended" is an option or flag that is passed to the hashid command to enable extended analysis of the hash value. This means it will provide additional information and analysis beyond just identifying the hash algorithm.
- "${hash}" is a placeholder that represents the actual hash value you want to analyze. You need to replace it with the actual hash value when running the command.
By running this command, hashid will analyze the provided hash and provide information about the hash algorithm used, as well as any additional analysis it can derive from the hash. This can help in understanding the nature of the hash and potentially in further analysis or decryption processes.
