How did someone manage to find the image from the SHA hash?
- evmar 11y agoI just made a lucky guess from the keywords in the article: $ echo -n 'P100D' | sha256sum 5fc38436ec295b0049f186651ebba5fd55e8d7b81eb61cbd00d3f1bf18dd9c81
- mikeash 11y agoIt's so short that you can also just brute force it. Using hashcat in "try all short alphanumeric+symbols strings in increasing length" mode on this hash produces the resulting string in about ten seconds on my computer. I imagine it was just guessed, though. Any Tesla fan thinking of "cool new upgrade to the car, currently secret" would put a P100D model near the top of the list of things to try.
- ChristianBundy 11y agoYep. There are plenty of sites that have already brute-forced hashes for arbitrary n-length alphanumeric strings. https://md5hashing.net/hash/sha256/5fc38436ec295b0049f186651ebba5fd55e8d7b81eb61cbd00d3f1bf18dd9c81 https://md5hashing.net/hash/sha256/5fc38436ec295b0049f186651...
- nacs 11y agoHe clearly should have added a salt to that hash..

- takeda 11y agoIt wasn't an image, just the text. If you put 5fc38436ec295b0049f186651ebba5fd55e8d7b81eb61cbd00d3f1bf18dd9c81 into the google, the second link (because first is article about it) will tell you what it is[1].
