It's a hash. Not in any of my rainbow tables though =/

So 128 bits? I'd guess they wouldn't use md5 (or any of the md family), which according to wiki leaves haval/ripemd/tiger. I'd go for ripemd-128 (on what the wiki says) although you would expect them to use a NSA blessed algorithm.

Wouldn't you also expect it to be realistically crackable? Otherwise why bother

[powrtoch]

I don't think they're expecting it to be cracked, per se, just guessed. I don't have to have defeated the SHA-256 algorithm to find your hashed password in a rainbow table.

[jeffreyg]

just curious, how do you know it's a hash?

The same way that something which smells like feet is "known" to be a shoe.

i.e.: zero proof, but good correlation.
