## Solution

Let's use [John](https://www.openwall.com/john/) to crack it, using the standard [rockyou](https://github.com/brannondorsey/naive-hashcat/releases/download/data/rockyou.txt) password list.

First we'll need to know what kind of hash has been used. Let's format a file with our hash. Then run `john` on it.


Several options are offered by `john`. Let's try the most common ones: `SHA-512`, `SHA-3`, `Whirpool`, ...

Launching with `SHA-3` gives us the password.


Flag: `gardener`
