A proof of work puzzle solver mainly for CTF challenges and whatnot.

## Getting Started

You can get started using `powsolver` by installing it through pip.

```

pip install powsolver

```

## Usage

The main component of the powsolver package is the `PoWSolver` class which encapsulates the main functionality.

Here is a basic usage example of the powsolver:

```python

from powsovler import PoWSolver

solver = PoWSolver()

solver.parse(

    "Please submit a printable string X, such that {alg}(X)[{start:d}:] = {target} and len(X) = {len}",

    "Please submit a printable string X, such that sha256(X)[-6:] = 86d113 and len(X) = 11"

)

sol = solver.sol()

```

Exampled of more elaborated usage can be found in the [examples](./examples/)  folder.
