Historique du projet

The project README says haiti was made by Alexandre ZANNI and forked from Orange-Cyberdefense/haiti. The documentation's comparison page explains the motivation: older tools such as hashID, hash-identifier, Dagon, and findmyhash had become unmaintained or incomplete, especially for modern hashes such as Keccak, SHA3, and Blake2.

Release history shows a steady expansion of supported hash types and workflow features. Early 2021 releases established the CLI and library shape, later 1.x releases added many hash samples and John the Ripper or Hashcat references, 2.0 added a `list` command and crossed 600 supported types, 2.1 added fzf-assisted helpers, and 4.0 documented 675 supported hash types plus Ruby 4.0 support.

Historique d'adoption

haiti's adoption surface is narrower than the larger tools in this batch, but it is packaged through RubyGems and appears in security-oriented package sets such as Homebrew and Nix. The README's packaging-status badge and installation docs emphasize distribution packaging in addition to `gem install haiti-hash`.

The tool appeals to password-auditing and CTF workflows because it maps candidate hashes to likely algorithms and references cracking-tool identifiers. The package is useful when a shell pipeline needs a quick noninteractive hash guesser rather than an interactive legacy script.

Modes d'utilisation

Typical use is passing an unknown hash string to the `haiti` CLI, using the library from Ruby, or asking haiti for Hashcat and John the Ripper references. Later releases added commands and helper binaries for listing supported hash types and selecting cracking modes or formats through fzf.

The project deliberately avoids credentials or persistent local configuration in its documented core workflow. It is a lookup and classification tool rather than a password store or cracking engine.

Pourquoi les passionnés de paquets s'y intéressent

haiti is significant as a small security CLI that keeps a curated knowledge base of hash patterns close to package-manager users. It is the kind of tool that saves an install-from-GitHub step during CTFs, audits, and incident-response note taking.

For package maintainers, its Ruby implementation matters: version support tracks Ruby lifecycle changes, and the published gem, CLI binary, and documentation all need to line up for users who install through system package managers instead of RubyGems.
