Purpose: Given a file containing users, salt values, and hashed passwords, create a recursive method that uses brute force to generate all users passwords.
(From lab description):
*The file is divided as username,salt value, hashed password
*The passwords only contain numbers (length range is 3-7)
*Can only have up to two nested loops inside the function
*Use the provided method [hashlib.sha256()] to find the solution
*Implementation of test cases
*This program runs in Python 3.7 (originally coded in pycharm)
