Assignment #2 Due 8/14/2021 25 points

Step 1: Go to this URL https://community.cloud.databricks.com to apply a Databricks community
account.
Ans: Done it.

Step 2: read the article at https://www.geeksforgeeks.org/sha-in-python/ and learning to write a Python

program that perform SHA256.
Ans: Done it.

Step 3: Answer the following questions:

1. What is the SHA256 for abc? It, in hexadecimal, should be

ba7816bf8f01cfea414140de5dae2223b00361a396177a9cb410ff61f20015ad

2. What is the SHA256 for Abc?

06d90109c8cce34ec0c776950465421e176f08b831a938b3c6e76cb7bee8790b

3. What is the SHA256 for your name? For Example, my name would be written as 刘杰 or Jie Liu。

As my name is Nasar Khan, so

9026f783f0ca18be4006d413ef8b061338e0096659a4d932bc04daf46863a351

4. Try a string with at least 100 characters and calculate its SHA256. What is the string and what is the

SHA256?

String:

Department_of_computer-science_and_software-engineering_wangjiang_campus_sichuan_university_chengdu_china

SHA256:

976070e5db0337e2097e4bc9fac297f16a3e73b6e0540f13cdaf53a8b57bd617
5. Find 10 numbers to add to the end of your name so the SHA256. Let’s see if you can find one that
has 40 leading zeros out of the 256 bits (how to check this?). Try 10 numbers or your hash has 40
leading zeros, whichever comes first. Use a loop for this part and turn the code in.

Code for Step 3.5:

# Python 3 code to demonstrate,

# SHA hash algorithms.

import hashlib

import random

import re

# initializing string

name = "Nasar Khan"

# then sending to SHA256()

result = hashlib.sha256(name.encode())

for i in range(0, 10):

n= random.randint(1, 100)

n_plus_name = name +str(i) + str(n)

print(n_plus_name)

res = hashlib.sha256(n_plus_name.encode())

SHA_code = res.hexdigest()

print(SHA_code)

str40 = SHA_code[0:40]
 x = 1

for element in range(0, len(str40)):

# print(str40[element])

if re.match("[0]", str40[element]):

print('Condition matched')

++x

if (x > 39):

print(n_plus_name)

print(SHA_code)

print("\r")

or Snapshot in pycharm
import hashlib
import random
import re

# initializing string

# then sending to SHA256()

result = hashlib.sha256(name.encode())

for i in range(0, 10):

n= random.randint(1, 100)
n_plus_name = name +str(i) + str(n)
print(n_plus_name)
res = hashlib.sha256(n_plus_name.encode())
SHA_code = res.hexdigest()
print(SHA_code)
str40 = SHA_code[0:40]
# print(str40)

x = 1
for element in range(0, len(str40)):
# print(str40[element])
if re.match("[0]", str40[element]):
print('Condition matched')
++x
if (x > 39):
print(n_plus_name)
print(SHA_code)

print("\r")

The End
