Winter Challenges to warm the mind and heart.  
 
 

HINT #2:  Step 1: Make a wordlist that goes from "Gr33ngr!nch000-Gr33ngr!nch999" (you can use a tool like excel to do this for you). Put this list into something called wordlist.txt.

Step 2: Put the entire hash given, "adbb281b13d6331dd694c6fafe2c8692:IhateSanta" into a file called hash.txt.

 Step 3: Run the following command in hashcat. "hashcat -a 0 -m 10 hash.txt wordlist.txt"

  Oh no! The Grinch is trying to steal xmas again! We need to know his plans so we can stop him, but they are password protected. We know all of his passwords start with "Gr33ngr!nch" followed by 3 digits. We found a salted md5 hash of his password "adbb281b13d6331dd694c6fafe2c8692:IhateSanta". Can you solve it?

 Let @Croci bois (Rachel) know if you need a hint.
