Crack the hash

Task 1 - Level 1

For this task, most of the hashes can be cracked using Crackstation, except the fourth, which I found on hashes.com

CrackStation - Online Password Hash Cracking - MD5, SHA1, Linux, Rainbow Tables, etc.

Decrypt MD5, SHA1, MySQL, NTLM, SHA256, MD5 Email, SHA256 Email, SHA512 hashes

Task 2 - Level 2

The questions now involve more complex hashes, in some cases with a custom salt.

I used hashid to detect the hash type and then cracked each hash using john.
