Run this command to find a list of potential hashing algorithms
$ hashid [HASH]
Run these through [[Hashcat]] to see what modes they are for cracking:
$ hashcat --example-hashes | grep [ALGORITHM-NAME] -B 2
If you have a large number of candidates, search them all with this one-liner:
$ hashid [HASH] | awk '{print $2}' | while read line; do hashcat --example-hashes | grep $line -B 1; done
This is a quick and dirty bash script that takes the second column of the hashid output (the guessed algorithm) and passes it to hashcat. It could be improved, as it also passes the hash itself to the grep command.
