Just for an example, let's say I downloaded "the adventures of tom sawyer" from gutenberg in .txt file format and saved it to my usb thumb drive.
And as you can see, usb drive is not an ideal device for long term data retention. But if I insist on using it, there's possibility any files in my storage would finally be corrupted after long time without powering it up.
So what I will do now is to save ...
If I try to do MD5(SHA256(input)), what is the strength of this so-called double hashing approach?
Is it as strong as SHA256, or as strong as MD5, or as strong as SHA256 + MD5?
This is not a homework question btw, I am asking because of a real issue in my project. By right, I only need to do SHA256(input) on the input, and store it in a column in one MySQL table. But my practical concern is: SHA256 is o ...
I have made some progress on the MD5 avalanche problem, https://github.com/221294583/crc32 It is said that CRC32 realizes avalanche through recursive XOR of polynomials and original values at the same time.I think MD5 is the same,but I can't understand the code of MD5. Can you help me explain this code. https://github.com/blueimp/JavaScript-MD5 ,it is a big massive of codes as in my link.I am not a devel ...
I've heard about several instances where OSINT researchers were able to match user accounts from multiple data leaks purely based on their hashed passwords, assuming accounts had the same password on different sites. (Yes, even when there were no other identifying characteristics, such as re-used usernames, re-used email addresses, browser fingerprints, or IPs.)
As far as I know, these data leaks ...
File-A is hashed with CRC32, MD5 and SHA-1.
How easy is it to create a fake file-B that has the same hashes of file-A? CRC32, MD5 and SHA-1?
Can an average PC with a GPU calculate a triple hash collision of file-A? And how long would it take?
You may know how sometimes a hash in a URL may be in UUID format, which consists of groups of hex values separated by hyphens. In UUID format, I have come to learn that this hash takes the form:
8-4-4-4-12 for a total of 32 characters. However, I came across a URL that had a hash for a request parameter that looked like this:
9ced2fb4-f1df-4f00-af76-940736bfeee0001f
Notice that this format is 8-4-4-4-1 ...
I've been studying the MD5 hashing algorithm, and there is something that I just don't understand yet. They say that the server holds some sort or "secret" and that it appends some sort of "message" (or "data") to that secret. Then, the algorithm adds the appropriate padding to the concatenated ("secret" + "data") and the process continues from there. Now, it is said that only the server knows the "secr ...
In MD5, if M=100, how can we perform padding on it and how many blocks are needed in each round?
These are general questions for understanding padding and rounds.
Given powerful GPU and PC hardware, is it realistic to recover a password in a few hours given a cleartext's MD5? Max chars are 95, and the maximum length of the password is 15 characters.
If it is possible, could an attacker create a collision for an MD5 password in a database? Could they look at an MD5 hash output and figure out data that creates the same MD5 hash?
I was wondering if someone could help explain md5 collision abit better. I found this resource: https://www.mscs.dal.ca/~selinger/md5collision/ where they provided an example of where two cipher texts have the same md5. I tried to confirm that their example was correct but when I input their examples into a md5 calculator, I get two different md5s for the two different cipher text. What am I doing ...
