Burp-hash
Summary: A Burp Suite extension called Burp-hash passively scans requests for values containing hashes made with common algorithms such as SHA and MD5, and reports any it finds to the user. It also tracks submitted parameter values like usernames, email addresses, and ID numbers, and reports when a hash of a previously submitted value is identified; version 1.0 was last updated on 28 August 2015 and requires Java 8.
What's compelling: The extension's own listing warns of high memory and CPU usage on large audits, and PortSwigger states it makes no warranty about the quality or usefulness of third-party extensions - so a tool that watches every submitted username, email address, and ID number for hashing carries its own operational cost.
