i create a password, then i convert it to sha256 hash few times, after that i dont remember how many times i have converted it.
now if hashcat try to attack it, it fails, unless i give a dictionary to hashcat and then tell it to convert each word in dictionary 10 times to sha256, and check each word hashes at each iteration.
or if i remember that i converted it 9 times, i only tell that check at only 9th iteration (9th hash)
I would write a simple python-script for that, all you have to do is a simple loop where the input is the output of the last loop (recursive or with a swap var) and printing that to stdout or into a file
you could also check on each loop whether your hash fits, and exit the loop when the hash fits but this could lead to an infinite loop when your first input isnt the right one, so i would break at i dont know, the 20th iteration?
