A few suggestions:<p>The animated GIF in the README is too fast to read. Remove it in favor of the static image you have. But make the font size of that image larger.<p>Display the output in a table, rather than in a comma-separated form, so it&#x27;s easier to understand and faster to reference. (There are many modules that provide tabular printing.)<p><pre><code> Hash Hashcat jtr Description ---- ------- ------- ----------- MD5 raw-md5 NTLM 1000 nt Often used in Windows Active Directory </code></pre> (According to your output Hashcat doesn&#x27;t support MD5?)<p>Hide the &quot;Least Likely&quot; section by default because it&#x27;s such a wall-of-text, even with text coloring it&#x27;s going to be impossible to interpret. I would simply print &quot;Pass --less-likely to display 543 other hash types.&quot;

Hashes cannot be undone, so... this is just a tool to tell you how long a string of hex characters is and show you a list of hash functions with that length?

I think it’s a pretty cool tool. Although most publicly offered hashes will state what type, I can see a use for quickly identifying unknown hashes.
