### Crack Me
Can you crack this?
Your hash: a60458d2180258d47d7f7bef5236b33e86711ac926518ca4545ebf24cdc0b76c.
Your salt: the encryption method of the hash.
(So if the hash is of the word example, you would submit flag{example} to score points.)

after identifying with `hash-identifier` we identify it's sha256 with salt so we go on it using the `sha256($salt.$pass)` mode:

` hashcat -m 1420 a60458d2180258d47d7f7bef5236b33e86711ac926518ca4545ebf24cdc0b76c:sha256 rockme.txt`
- we find the following:

a60458d2180258d47d7f7bef5236b33e86711ac926518ca4545ebf24cdc0b76c:sha256:cathouse

Session..........: hashcat
Status...........: Cracked
Hash.Name........: sha256($salt.$pass)

So obviously I submitted the following: flag{cathouse}
