Compares popular hashing algorithms like MD5, SHA-1 and SHA-256 on criteria like speed, security and collision resistance to determine the best algorithm.
This article explains what SHA-256 is, how brute force attacks work, and whether SHA-256 can be broken with brute force given the current state of technology.
A look at brute force, rainbow tables, and other techniques for decrypting SHA-1 hashes, along with the challenges and ethical considerations involved.
This article looks at the strength of the SHA-256 cryptographic hash function and estimates how long it would take to crack given current and future technology.
