CFG Challenge: use a brute force method to decrypt a password

Here we used 4 brute force methods to decrypt a password.

• Random Choice (suggested by another CFG Python class attendee)

• Potential Characters as Bases

• Nested For Loops

• Itertools.product (suggested on StackOverflow and adapted for this problem)

---

What we learned:

• Solutions to the same problem can be vastly more/less efficient (which would be important in a business setting).
• Python has many modules (such as itertools), which other users have created to solve common problems.
• Pair programming can be very useful to figure out knotty problems!
