Ip4v Rainbow Table

I won't post the whole thing, but will say an IPv4 address in dotted decimal notation matches your MD5 hash and the correct match starts with 84.200 (in the format x.x.x.x - no newlines or spaces or anything …

Why are MD5 collisions dangerous?

But the bottom-line is that security-conscious developers need to know to avoid MD5 when collision resistance is necessary. … Or maybe they feel that since MD5 lacks collision resistance, that MD5 is inherently weaker than the others and more likely to be fully broken against preimage attacks before SHA-1/SHA-2 hash functions …

What does it mean by the 'Hash of a malware'?

Assuming you have GNU coreutils or their equivalent with the md5sum file, like: # md5sum name_of_file d41d8cd98f00b204e9800998ecf8427e name_of_file where d41d8cd98f00b204e9800998ecf8427e is the MD5

Is possible to fake md5sum?

MD5 is known to be broken for collision attacks. It is possible to generate a pair of documents m1 and m2, such that MD5(m1) = MD5(m2). … that MD5(m) = h. …

Why does MD5 hash starts from $1$ and SHA-512 from $6$? Isn't it weakness in itself?

Second, you are wrong about those being md5 or sha512 hashes; the values stored in your /etc/shadow are md5crypt or sha512crypt, which involves a strengthening procedure (many rounds of a md5 or sha512 …
