The script will try every rotation, so the initial rotation won’t matter for the solution.

I saw in the disassembly that it was using SHA256 on each character individually, and the validation data was in there, too. So I basically computed a quick rainbow table for all printable characters, then looked up each entry from the validation data in the rainbow table.

If that route hadn’t been there, I don’t think I would have finished this one in time.
