Does it make sense that a hash is separated by hyphens I'm trying to solve a challenge that is no longer active. I failed it when it was active, and I still can't resolve it. The challenge showed me a hash, and I have no idea what kind it is, and how does it make sense that parts of it are separated by hyphens?
I thought about md5 , is it possible?

That's a UUID format. Note that this is a representation of a 128 bit string. Just like &quot;9&quot; is a representation of &quot;1001&quot;.
The actual output of the hash is a random looking 128-bit string.
If it is a UUID, it can be different hash functions depending on what version it is.
