Password cracking - passCrack.py - Given a string of characters on the command line, find what string hashes to it. Passwords are sometimes stored in a hashed form, so if the database is breached, the passwords are not easily usable. Assume we have a hash of a password in hex form. Given this hash on the command line, find what password hashes to it. Only the first 5 characters of the hash are checked. Assume passwords are 4 or fewer characters containing only lowercase letters and numbers. MapReduce quickly look through all combinations for a match. Print out the input hash string and the valid passwords which hash to it, if any. Hashlib md5 hexdigest()and first 5 characters are used. Here are some passwords to crack: d077f, 0832c, 1a1dc, ee269, 0fe63
