For those familiar with hashes.com and its escrow system, hashpwn is excited to announce the launch of our Hashes.com Escrow Feed:

--> https://forum.hashpwn.net/topic/146 <--

Thread Purpose
This thread is an automated feed from @hashpwn-bot which monitors the public escrow websocket (info: https://hashes.com/en/docs). Whenever a new escrow job is found, the job info and hash list are posted here. This gives a historical archive of all escrow jobs and their hash list posted to escrow.

Disclaimer
Hashpwn is not affiliated with hashes.com. This thread exists solely for the convenience of the hash cracking community who want notifications and a historical archive of the escrow.

If you run into a blocked URL on the forum, it's due to a rogue bot reporting several forum URLs to CloudFlare. I've reported these false phishing warnings, and CloudFlare will be removing them shortly.

FYI
Update: The Matrix.org Foundation's Synapse homeserver is back online.
matrix.org synapse homeserver is offline which has taken all chat rooms hosted by them offline as well. Due to this outage, hashpwn Matrix chat rooms will be temporarily unavailable until matrix.org synapse homeserver is restored.

The Cloudflare phishing warning issue has been resolved.

Explanation of the recent Cloudflare phishing notifications:

• If you've run into a phishing warning while browsing hashpwn or trying to login, it's due to a troll who has been falsely reporting hashpwn URLs to Cloudflare as phishing. See screenshot below:

• Example report the troll is using to falsely report hashpwn URLs.

• Submitting false phishing reports is a serious matter and may constitute fraud, harassment, and abuse of service. This behavior has been reported to Cloudflare.

FYI
The hashpwn forum experienced a brief outage on 2025-10-07 14:39 UTC - 2025-10-07 15:56 UTC. The incident was caused by an unexpected host server reboot initiated by the datacenter without prior notice, which interrupted an automated database sync and left the forum database in a corrupt state.

To minimize downtime, the forum database was restored to a known working state from a recent backup. As a result, approx 12 hours of activity were lost which included several posts from @hashpwn-bot and users.

Thanks for your patience while this was sorted out.

Due to the global Cloudflare outage today, all hashpwn front-end web services were either partially, or fully, unavailable from 11/18/2025 11:57 UTC - 11/18/2025 14:35 UTC with an Internal Server Error 500 status from Cloudflare. As soon as Cloudflare mitigated the issue on their side, all hashpwn front-end web services became available.
