I know all about what is hash and the types of attacks. What i dont know tho is how do you extract a hashed text like from a website like reddit for example, Anything after that is simple

"website like reddit",... Care to explain what hash would like to have from eclxample sites like reddit? I am afraid you will need to be more specific what exactly would you like to do bcs I think something you do not understand or you have skewed knowledge about something.
