I'm not allowed to touch the script. That's completely forbidden.

Make your own local copy of the script, tweak and run that. The original is untouched.

    It communicates with a remote server to get the data it must process, and the remote server won't communicate with the script unless it has the right crypto hash...

    I decided the rabbit hole was getting too deep, and I wrote my own version in 1 line of shell code (a very long line with lots of pipes and regexen). *sigh*... Sometimes to win, you just have to know when you're beaten.
