Its name expands to HAsh IdenTifIer, and its documentation positions it as a maintained alternative to older hash identification tools with better support for modern algorithms and references to Hashcat and John the Ripper formats. ### Project history The project README says haiti was made by Alexandre ZANNI and forked from Orange-Cyberdefense/haiti. The documentation's comparison page explains the motivation: older tools such as hashID, hash-identifier, Dagon, and findmyhash had become unmaintained or incomplete, especially for modern hashes such as Keccak, SHA3, and Blake2. Release history shows a steady expansion of supported hash types and workflow features. Early 2021 releases established the CLI and library shape, later 1.x releases added many hash samples and John the Ripper or Hashcat references, 2.0 added a `list` command and crossed 600 supported types, 2.1 added fzf-assisted helpers, and 4.0 documented 675 supported hash types plus Ruby 4.0 support. ### Adoption history haiti's adoption surface is narrower than the larger tools in this batch, but it is packaged through RubyGems and appears in security-oriented package sets such as Homebrew and Nix. The README's packaging-status badge and installation docs emphasize distribution packaging in addition to `gem install haiti-hash`. The tool appeals to password-auditing and CTF workflows because it maps candidate hashes to likely algorithms and references cracking-tool identifiers. The package is useful when a shell pipeline needs a quick noninteractive hash guesser rather than an interactive legacy script. ### How it is used Typical use is passing an unknown hash string to the `haiti` CLI, using the library from Ruby, or asking haiti for Hashcat and John the Ripper references. Later releases added commands and helper binaries for listing supported hash types and selecting cracking modes or formats through fzf. The project deliberately avoids credentials or persistent local configuration in its documented core workflow. It is a lookup and classification tool rather than a password store or cracking engine. ### Why package nerds care haiti is significant as a small security CLI that keeps a curated knowledge base of hash patterns close to package-manager users. It is the kind of tool that saves an install-from-GitHub step during CTFs, audits, and incident-response note taking. For package maintainers, its Ruby implementation matters: version support tracks Ruby lifecycle changes, and the published gem, CLI binary, and documentation all need to line up for users who install through system package managers instead of RubyGems. ### Timeline - 2019: haiti project activity began according to the project's comparison documentation. - 2021: v1.0.0 release established the CLI and library package. - 2021: v1.1.0 added 66 hash types and improved compatibility. - 2022: v1.4.1 documented 500 supported hash types. - 2023: v2.0.0 documented more than 600 supported hash types and added the `list` command. - 2023: v2.1.0 added fzf-oriented helper commands for Hashcat and John the Ripper workflows. - 2025: v3.0.0 documented 641 supported hash types and Ruby 3.4 support. - 2026: v4.0.0 documented 675 supported hash types and Ruby 4.0 support. ### Related projects - Hashcat: cracking tool whose mode references are reported by haiti. - John the Ripper: cracking tool whose format references are reported by haiti. - hashID and hash-identifier: older hash identification tools discussed in haiti's comparison documentation. - Name-That-Hash: another hash identification project compared by haiti's documentation. ### Sources - - - - - - ## Security Notes narrow executable package without higher-risk signals. - **Geiger risk:** green / low - narrow executable package without higher-risk signals ## Source Database Details - **Source Database:** Homebrew formula API - **Tap:** homebrew/core - **Full Name:** haiti - **Version Scheme:** 0 - **Revision:** 0 - **Bottle Stable Root URL:** - **Deprecated:** no - **Disabled:** no - **Keg Only:** no - **URL Keys:** stable ## Other Package-Manager Records - Nix - haiti: normalized package name match | nixpkgs package indexes: pkgs/by-name/ha/haiti/package.nix from https://api.github.com/repos/NixOS/nixpkgs/git/trees/master?recursive=1 ## Related links - [Source-control packages](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/source-control-tools/) - Belongs to a source-control command family. - [Terminal utility packages](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/terminal-utilities/) - Matched terminal and command-line workflow metadata. - [Networking and protocol packages](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/networking-protocol-tools/) - Matched network, protocol, or remote-service metadata. - [Security and crypto packages](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/security-crypto-tools/) - Matched security, identity, cryptography, password, signing, or certificate metadata. - [ruby](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/brew/ruby/) - Runtime dependency declared by Homebrew. - [rust](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/brew/rust/) - Build dependency declared by Homebrew. - [modsurfer](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/brew/modsurfer/) - Shares av.db curated category or tags: analysis, cli, security. - [botan](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/brew/botan/) - Shares av.db curated category or tags: cli, cryptography, security. - [gnutls](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/brew/gnutls/) - Shares av.db curated category or tags: cli, cryptography, security. - [libotr](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/brew/libotr/) - Shares av.db curated category or tags: cli, cryptography, security. - [nettle](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/brew/nettle/) - Shares av.db curated category or tags: cli, cryptography, security. - [nss](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/brew/nss/) - Shares av.db curated category or tags: cli, cryptography, security. - [opensc](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/brew/opensc/) - Shares av.db curated category or tags: cli, cryptography, security. - [pdfcrack](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/brew/pdfcrack/) - Shares av.db curated category or tags: cli, cryptography, security. - [pywhat](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/brew/pywhat/) - Security-sensitive metadata or terminology overlaps.
