I am thinking it is DES (Unix), but Idk that much about hash.
I also believe that it is salted (az)

Hashing is basically just a one way encryption process. So if a hacker found a hashed password they would have no way of decrypting it to find the actual password input. They work commonly with login scripts on where the server compares the hashed input against the hashed password to check if they match.

As for salts, these are just usually long random strings of which are combined with the password prior to hashing to add an extra layer of security. So for example (in php):

<?php
$input = $_POST['password'];
$salt = "Hh4J7Jg7H6"; // the same salt with the password on database
$password = hash('sha512', $input.$salt);
// Then check if $password matches the hashed and salted password in the database
?>


I think currently sha512 is the most secure means of hashing and you should always take care to not over season your passwords (use too much salting).

You could also use:

$password = $_POST['password'];
$enc_password_sha1 = sha1($password);
$enc_password_md5 = md5($password);
