hashid: Show `hashcat`'s mode number and `john`'s format string of the hash types.
$ hashid --mode --john ${hash}
try on your machine

The command "hashid --mode --john ${hash}" is a command-line command that usually runs the "hashid" tool with certain parameters. Here is an explanation of each part of the command:

  • "hashid" is a tool used to identify the type of hash (hash function) used to encrypt or hash a given input.
  • "--mode" specifies the mode of operation for hashid. This parameter is followed by a specific mode that dictates how hashid should run. The specific mode is likely missing in the command you provided.
  • "--john" is an option used to output the identified hash type suitable for the John the Ripper password cracking tool. It formats the output in a way that is compatible with John the Ripper, a commonly used password cracking software.
  • "${hash}" is a placeholder that should be replaced with the actual hash value you want to analyze. The hash value is the encrypted or hashed data that hashid will attempt to identify.

To use this command, you need to replace "${hash}" with the actual hash value you want to analyze and specify the appropriate mode for "hashid".

This explanation was created by an AI. In most cases those are correct. But please always be careful and never run a command you are not sure if it is safe.
