Someone help me decode this

Question

What type of hash is this? a9df6dcd35f4e7223ff3dd087abcc266

I can't find anything when I decrypt it. Please someone decrypt it

For starters, you don't decrypt hashes. – Andrew Hoffman Nov 12 '14 at 19:22 — Andrew Hoffman, Nov 12 '14 at 19:22

According to the length of the text it could be one of the following hash formats:

DomainCachedCredentials
Haval128
MD2
MD4
MD5
NTLM

But (because it is a hash, a one way function) you can't decrypt it. You can try to brute force it, but this will possibly take a very long time. All the rainbow tables I know were unable to identify the original value, perhaps it was salted.

There's also an infinite amount of strings that has that exact hash. So chances are you brute force the wrong string. – Oskar Skog Jul 01 '17 at 11:50

@OskarSkog It's not actually infinite, at least not for MD4, MD5, and NTLM. Those use a final padding block which encodes in it a 64-bit representation of the size of the data to be hashed. Because of that, they can only take in 2^64 bits of data, and obviously you can't fit an infinite set in that. – forest Feb 24 '18 at 05:53

Aha, I guess I've learned something new today. OP will be relieved to hear that once he exceeds lengths of 2306 PB he can stop brute forcing :-) – Oskar Skog Feb 24 '18 at 09:14
