comment What are the differences between a digital signature, a MAC and a hash?
@Flimm I only pointed out that this looks like homework. I did not cast any downvote and now I made an upvote because with this question it is of use for others also.

comment How does one find out ciphers/passwords without knowing what cryptographic algorithms are used?
That's the reason why I stated that you can find patterns between plaintext and ciphertext. But Thomas mentioned that you have to know the algorithm which is not true for differential cryptoanalysis.

Not completely. You can do differential cryptoanalysis without knowing the algorithm. Or what do you mean what knowledge is needed to do cryptoanalysis?
