My practice attempt to decrypt a SHA-256 hash of an IP address
#6
Couple of niggles:

- That larger file I linked to covers actual possible IP addresses. Many ?d?d?d (above 254) are invalid in an IP-address octet. So your masks will try many IPs that are not valid (if any octet has more than two digits).

- It's not "decrypting" - you're cracking, or hashing, to try to find a match. Decryption implies reversal of an encryption process, which is not how hashes work.
