SHA256-passwordcracking

A simple script created following TCM-Sec course 101 python for hackers. The repository pourpose is to follow my knowledge progress. As I acquire knowledge, I will improve the script.

Usage

First of all we need to get the password hash that is in pass.txt file. For this example we're using the password python:

└─$ echo -ne python | sha256sum 

This should return something like this

11a4a60b518bf24989d481468076e5d5982884626aed9faeb35b8576fcd223e1

Then our script will try to crack that hash:

└─$ python sha256-crack.py 11a4a60b518bf24989d481468076e5d5982884626aed9faeb35b8576fcd223e1

If everything goes right, the console should return
