Question

i want to know if exist a way to differentiate a md5 hashcode of a sha-1 hashcode?

For example:

d41d8cd98f00b204e9800998ecf8427e

da39a3ee5e6b4b0d3255bfef95601890afd80709

How i could to know which are encrypted in md5 and wich not? Is it possible?

Was it helpful?

Solution

I'm not quite sure if this is what you're asking, but MD5 is 128 bits/32 hex digits, while SHA-1 is 160 bits/40 hex digits, so it's fairly easy to tell the difference between them (providing, of course, that you know that your hashes will be either MD5 or SHA-1 and not something else).

(If you're asking whether you can determine if a given MD5 hash is a hash of a hash or a hash of some other data, then I believe the answer is "no".)

OTHER TIPS

MD5 gives a 128-bit hash value.

SHA-1 gives a 160-bit hash value.
