Hash Extractor
Extract MD5, SHA-1, SHA-256, and other hash values from text.
About Hash Extractor
The Hash Extractor uses length and character-set pattern matching to automatically identify and extract cryptographic hash values from unstructured text, correctly distinguishing MD5 (32 hex chars), SHA-1 (40 hex chars), SHA-256 (64 hex chars), SHA-512 (128 hex chars), and NTLM hashes by their unique lengths. Security professionals encounter hash strings embedded in malware reports, threat intelligence feeds, build manifests, and forensic artifacts daily, and manually scanning for them is error-prone and slow. This tool finds every hash in seconds regardless of the surrounding context.
How to Use
Paste any text that may contain hash values — threat intelligence reports, malware analysis write-ups, build logs, password database dumps, or security advisories — into the input field. The tool parses the full content, groups all detected hashes by type (MD5, SHA-1, SHA-256, SHA-512), deduplicates the list, and presents them in labeled sections. Copy hashes by type for direct import into threat hunting platforms, VirusTotal bulk lookup, or hash cracking tools.
Common Use Cases
- Threat hunters extracting MD5, SHA-1, and SHA-256 file hash indicators of compromise from malware analysis reports to bulk-query VirusTotal or import into SIEM detection rules
- Release engineers pulling SHA-256 artifact checksums from CI/CD pipeline build logs to populate integrity verification manifests for software distribution packages
- Penetration testers extracting NTLM and SHA-1 password hashes from database dumps or SAM file exports during internal red team engagements for offline cracking
- CTI analysts parsing threat intelligence PDF reports and HTML feeds to collect all hash-based IOCs in a structured format for import into threat intelligence platforms like MISP
- DevSecOps engineers scanning dependency lock files, SBOM outputs, and package manifests for embedded checksums to audit supply chain integrity against known-good values
