SHA256 Brute Force Password Revealer

Some days ago I needed to find a password of which I only had the SHA256 hash. So I decided to write a little application to reveal it... Since SHA256 is a one-way only encryption, the only way was using a brute force attack (dictionary attack didn't help).
It took me about 4 days to find that password, good thing it wasn't a very strong password or it could have taken some years to find it ;-)
