I have 2 hashes which I don't remember which type of encryption I used or if i used a secret key. can you help me identify these I will just give all details but not paste the whole hash here.

hash1
start: qe$weroodjf end:ejosfkgowieorjwr length: 71 bytes

hash2
start: bHQ4VNwAbe3b end: TagEhBhrpZXVPqr6jQ== length: 152 bytes
NOTE: there was originally 157 bytes but it was white space i don't if I pressed accidentally or it was there.

For the second one, I think you mean 152 characters, not 152 bytes. The character set looks like base64, and the equals symbols at the end are another tell-tale sign that this is probably base64, as equals symbols are often used for padding in base64.

In base64, each set of 4 characters represents 3 bytes. You have 150 characters of actual information (again, the last two equals symbols are padding). This equates to 112.5 bytes of data ( (150/4) * 3). That equates to 900 bits of data (8*112.5).

That's most likely not a hash, as no standard hashing algorithm produces a 900-bit result. It's most likely not the result of AES encryption either, as AES produces blocks of 128 bits, and 900 is not a multiple of 128.
