    Hash collisions and exploitations

  • sha1collisiondetection

    Library and command line tool to detect SHA-1 collision in a file

  • For sha1, people made a system where you can detect the patterns that lead to a collision, and (for example) replace it with a different hash only for inputs that would be a problem. https://github.com/cr-marcstevens/sha1collisiondetection i think git does this to eek more life out of sha1.

    I imagine you could take a similar counter-cryptnalysis approach to md5. (I am out of my depth here, so there could be reasons this doesnt work for md5 im unaware of)

  • WorkOS

    The modern identity platform for B2B SaaS. The APIs are flexible and easy-to-use, supporting authentication, user identity, and complex enterprise features like SSO and SCIM provisioning.
