This is a simple phonebook application that allows you to add, search, view, edit, and delete contacts. It uses SQLite to store the contacts and a password file to store the password. The password is hashed using SHA-256 before storing it in the file. The application also uses sudo to run commands that require elevated privileges. The application is designed to run on Unix-based systems.
