Task

Find, through brute force, the five-letter passwords corresponding with the following SHA-256 hashes:

1. 1115dd800feaacefdf481f1f9070374a2a81e27880f187396db67958b207cbad
2. 3a7bd3e2360a3d29eea436fcfb7e44c735d117c42d1c1835420b6b9942dd4f1b
3. 74e1bb62f8dabb8125a58852b63bdf6eaef667cb56ac7f7cdba6d7305c50a22f

Your program should naively iterate through all possible passwords consisting only of five lower-case ASCII English letters. It should use concurrent or parallel processing, if your language supports that feature. You may calculate SHA-256 hashes by calling a library or through a custom implementation. Print each matching password, along with its SHA-256 hash.
