I am learning how the bitTorrent and Bencoded dictionary of bitTorrent. But I don't understand how the pieces are encoded in SHA-1 in the torrent metainfo file. As from my knowledge SHA-1 hash is look like this aaf4c61ddcc5e8a2dabede0f3b482cd9aea9434d, but instead it look like this KÅ•Š8yç=¾4f¯gBûõÿm¶¤lâFi Ô
Somebody tell me what is this?
No, your assumption is wrong. SHA-1 doesn't "look like this aaf4c61ddcc5e8a2dabede0f3b482cd9aea9434d" as hash functions returns just list of bytes. What you have seen as KÅ•Š8yç=¾4f¯gBûõÿm¶¤lâFi Ô is just output of that function which your viewer tries to output as a text, which obviously fails.

I was trying to hash 'abc' as a hex number input on two different sites, but both give different hash.
Later I found out, that one site interprets it as '0abc' and the second one as 'abc0'.
Since I'm finishing my sha256 hashing program, I was wondering which one is correct.
Thank you
Being a pentester, I have encountered a hash divided in two parts (the first one probably being the salt) seemingly encoded in Base64 but I am unable to find out the encryption type.
The input that gave me this hash is the string "password". Is anybody able to give me a hint ?

Maybe it's SHA-256 encoded (or any other 256 bit hash algorithm), because if you base64 decode it and hex encode you get:

b3d6c3d1039aec0e931c330b6b7f7edcb99781cc73505766b337997654d4ce36
The first has an length of 16 and the second a length of 64. That's probably not a coincidence.
Edit: Maybe it's hashed multiple times; an iterated hash. As this post says it is better to decompile the software.
I have a string, but what I want to know is how this is generated?

I did some research over the last days, and it seems its an base64 encoding but here we have also special characters in the string like "/+=". The plain text should be b33912c6-b805-412b-9660-b80186fc3b9f, but no encoding/encryption method I found online could get the same string.
Which encryption or encoding algorithm is used here?
I have three strings : StrA, StrB, StrC.
And their hash is YT56ejff653499TYK
Now, if someone give me hash of StrA, StrB and its hash is IEoeuor749Hueiur7x, is there a way to extract StrC from YT56ejff653499TYK and IEoeuor749Hueiur7x
Assuming you are referring to some of the standard one-way hash functions like SHA-2 or similar, this should never be possible.
For example, if this was possible by any mean it would make the password hash salting technique essentially a disclosure of the original password.
In short, with a one-way hash function which is not broken this should not be possible.
Simple question. What is the best (most universal) way to display a file hash? Below are two SHA256 hashes for the same file. One is displayed as base64 and one is...something else. The file hash will be used for auditing to make sure the file we send is the same as the file the auditor received. If the hash needs to be verified, I want to make sure I provide the hash that is the most easily verifiable.

The point of Base64 is to constrain the character set to displayable characters. The hash is in hexadecimal which is even more constrained.
