I'm working on a password cracking tool.
The process of working:
->The user will give the md5 hash as input.
->The program then goes through a given file containing a wordlist, it searches for the correct match
for the md5 hash given.
->If the correct match is found, it returns the word(password), else it returns
"Password is not in the list".
The python code is given below:
Any help would be appreciated.
Thank You.

The python code is given below:
import hashlib flag = 0 pass_hash = input("Enter md5 hash: ") wordlist = input("File name: ") try: pass_file = open(wordlist, "r") except: print("No file found") quit() for word in pass_file: enc_wrd = word.encode('utf-8') digest = hashlib.md5(enc_wrd.strip()).hexdigest() if digest == pass_hash: print("Password found") print("Password: ",word) flag = 1 break if flag == 0: print("Password is not in the list")This the Error I'm getting:

I need a solution to this error.Any help would be appreciated.
Thank You.
