Analyzes whether it is possible for two different files to produce identical SHA-256 hash values. It examines the probability and likelihood of collisions.
This article examines the potential of Grover's algorithm to break SHA-256 hashes using quantum computers, and limitations of current quantum technology.
Compares popular hashing algorithms like MD5, SHA-1, SHA-256, bcrypt and scrypt. It explains SHA-256 is currently the most widely used secure algorithm.
Explores common methods like brute force, dictionary attacks, and rainbow tables used to crack hashes along with best practices to enhance hash security.
