Now, you can try hashing a target’s password with the function crypt(). Once you are able to import the necessary library, you can now send the parameters salt “HX” and the password “egg” to the function. When you run the code, you will get a hashed password that contains the string “HX9LLTdc/jiDE”. This is how the output should look like:

When that happens, you can simply write a program that uses iteration throughout an entire dictionary, which will try against each word that will be possibly yield the word used for the password.

Now, you will need to create two functions that you can use in the program that you are going to write, which are testPass and main. The main function will pull up the file that contains the encrypted password, which is password.txt, and will then read all the contents in the lines that the password file contains. Afterwards, it will then split the lines into the hashed password and its corresponding username. After that, the main function will call the testPass function to test the hashed passwords against the dictionary.

The testPass function will take the password that is still encrypted as a parameter and then will return after exhausting the words available in the dictionary or when it has successfully decrypted the password. This is how the program will look like:
