Building for Windows

Add the source files (.cpp and .hpp but NOT .sh) to a VS project.

Add the password length and the hash to crack in the command line arguments (right click the project in VS -> Properties -> Configuration Properties -> Debugging -> Command Arguments).

e.g. 8 5e884898da28047151d0e56f8dc6292773603d0d6aabbdd62a11ef721d1542d8 to (try to) crack a password of length 8.

Run using 'Local Windows Debugger' and put a breakpoint before the return statement in main and the exit statement in testThePassword on line 17 of password.hpp).

To generate a hash: type 'SHA256 ' into DuckDuckGo.com. For example 'SHA256' provides the hash '5e884898da28047151d0e56f8dc6292773603d0d6aabbdd62a11ef721d1542d8' at the top of the results page.

Linux/macOS build script

./build_g++.sh

Requires GCC and OpenSSL installed on build computer. If you can't install OpenSSL, define _WIN32 to use the backup code intended for Windows.

macOS OpenSSL install

brew install openssl

Assuming that you have the homebrew package manager installed (you should). If you can't install OpenSSL, define _WIN32 to use the backup code intended for Windows.
