Does hashing something multiple times make it more secure? I sure hope so. I've hashed my secret ten times with md5! Hopefully this makes up for the fact that my secret is really short. Wrap the secret in flag{}.

Note: Follow the format of the provided hash exactly

Hash: CD04302CBBD2E0EB259F53FAC7C57EE2

Brute-force all printable characters, hash them 10 times and compare with the target hash.

import hashlib
import string

target = 0xCD04302CBBD2E0EB259F53FAC7C57EE2

for c in string.printable:
	m = hashlib.md5(c).hexdigest().upper()
	for i in range(9):
		m = hashlib.md5(m).hexdigest().upper()

	if int(m, 16) == target:
		print c
		break

flag: flag{^}
