Challenge

NICC is on the hunt for the elusive moth-man! In order to draw him out of hiding, we need to cook a nice breakfast for him. Luckily, one of our agents has recovered a hash of the cryptid's favorite breakfast. Crack the hash and serve up a great breakfast!

NICC{breakfast_item}

An additional hint:

It would be a SHAme if all 256 of these meals went to waste.

And the two files:

65B

hash.txt

10KB

wordList.txt

Solution

Thanks to the hint we know it's a SHA-256. I decided to use hashcat to crack the hash, using the wordlist attached.
