For me, who is learning web programming, knowing hash types is very important.
Because most of the application source code on the internet, uses passwords that are encrypted.
If we don’t know the type of a hash, we can use Hash Analyzer to find out the type before we decrypt it.
So that we know the password for login that has been encrypted.
Here is one of the Hash Analyzers I use. https://www.tunnelsup.com/hash-analyzer/
