Finding a SHA-512 hash with 12 leading zeros is computationally intensive and typically involves a process known as “proof of work” where many hashes are computed until one with the desired property is found. Here’s an example Python script that performs this task:
import hashlib
import itertools
deffind_hash_with_leading_zeros(prefix, leading_zeros=12):
target = '0' * leading_zeros
for nonce in itertools.count():
text = prefix + str(nonce)
hash_result = hashlib.sha512(text.encode()).hexdigest()
if hash_result.startswith(target):
return text, hash_result
prefix = "your_prefix_here"
result_text, result_hash = find_hash_with_leading_zeros(prefix)
print(f"Text: {result_text}")
print(f"SHA-512 Hash: {result_hash}")
In this script:
The find_hash_with_leading_zeros function generates a hash for a string consisting of a prefix and a nonce.
It iterates through nonces (starting from 0) until it finds a hash with the specified number of leading zeros.
Adjust the prefix variable to a string of your choice.
This process can take a long time because it requires computing many hashes until the condition is met.
Would you like to run this script, or do you need further assistance with something specific?

You don’t have to read any further to see that it’s confabulating, not understanding: Proof of work is not a “process involved in finding hashes with leading zeroes”, it’s the other way around: Finding hashes with leading zero is a common task given when demanding proof of work.
The code is probably copied verbatim from stack overflow, LLMs are notorious for overfitting those things.
Nope just ran it did exactly as I said.
