--- Day 5: How About a Nice Game of Chess? ---
|
||||
|
||||
You are faced with a security door designed by Easter Bunny engineers that seem to have acquired most of their security knowledge by watching hacking movies.
|
||||
|
||||
The eight-character password for the door is generated one character at a time by finding the MD5 hash of some Door ID (your puzzle input) and an increasing integer
|
||||
index (starting with 0).
|
||||
|
||||
A hash indicates the next character in the password if its hexadecimal representation starts with five zeroes. If it does, the sixth character in the hash is the next
|
||||
character of the password.
|
||||
|
||||
For example, if the Door ID is abc:
|
||||
|
||||
• The first index which produces a hash that starts with five zeroes is 3231929, which we find by hashing abc3231929; the sixth character of the hash, and thus the
|
||||
first character of the password, is 1.
|
||||
• 5017308 produces the next interesting hash, which starts with 000008f82..., so the second character of the password is 8.
|
||||
• The third time a hash starts with five zeroes is for abc5278568, discovering the character f.
|
||||
|
||||
In this example, after continuing this search a total of eight times, the password is 18f47a30.
|
||||
|
||||
Given the actual Door ID, what is the password?
|
||||
|
||||
Your puzzle answer was ________.
|
||||
|
||||
--- Part Two ---
|
||||
|
||||
As the door slides open, you are presented with a second door that uses a slightly more inspired security mechanism. Clearly unimpressed by the last version (in what
|
||||
movie is the password decrypted in order?!), the Easter Bunny engineers have worked out a better solution.
|
||||
|
||||
Instead of simply filling in the password from left to right, the hash now also indicates the position within the password to fill. You still look for hashes that begin
|
||||
with five zeroes; however, now, the sixth character represents the position (0-7), and the seventh character is the character to put in that position.
|
||||
|
||||
A hash result of 000001f means that f is the second character in the password. Use only the first result for each position, and ignore invalid positions.
|
||||
|
||||
For example, if the Door ID is abc:
|
||||
|
||||
• The first interesting hash is from abc3231929, which produces 0000015...; so, 5 goes in position 1: _5______.
|
||||
• In the previous method, 5017308 produced an interesting hash; however, it is ignored, because it specifies an invalid position (8).
|
||||
• The second interesting hash is at index 5357525, which produces 000004e...; so, e goes in position 4: _5__e___.
|
||||
|
||||
You almost choke on your popcorn as the final character falls into place, producing the password 05ace8e3.
|
||||
|
||||
Given the actual Door ID and this new method, what is the password? Be extra proud of your solution if it uses a cinematic "decrypting" animation.
|
||||
|
||||
Your puzzle answer was ________.
