Identify your encrypted password:
• MD5 hashes are 32 characters long
• SHA-1 hashes are 40 characters long and consisted by a/A-f/F and 0-9
• Base 64 is really easy to identify because, usually it has equals(==) at the end of the hash
• Megan-35 passwords have the number "5" in their last digit
• Feron-74 hashes usually have "4" in their last digit
• Shadow hashes have the dollar ( $ ) sign among them.

"Decrypting" Encrypted Strings:
• Cain&Able
• You can use sites which offer online decrypting service such as:
- Crypo
- HackersCoID
- PassCracking ( for MD5 ++)
- MD5Cracker ( Multiple MD5 Decrypting sites in one
- MD5Decrypter ( For MD5, NTLM and SHA1 Decrypting )

Example :
Encrypted hash = gA3KBenufgZDfKOx8N3ABNhifgfDA+1kgO3cXNFU8IYCXNee8A3ABzFig0zdf7GG
Encrypted with: MD5 > Base-64 > GILA-7
So we will reverse Decrypt it
GILA-7:
gA3KBenufgZDfKOx8N3ABNhifgfDA+1kgO3cXNFU8IYCXNee8A3ABzFig0zdf7GG
Decrypted GILA-7:
MWE3OWE0ZDYwZGU2NzE4ZThlNWIzMjZlMzM4YWU1MzM=
Encrypted Base-64:
MWE3OWE0ZDYwZGU2NzE4ZThlNWIzMjZlMzM4YWU1MzM=
Decrypted Base64:

MD5:
