...have it use a stronger hashing algo?
The strength of the hashing algorithm is ancillary to this vulnerability. The OP was able to resolve the emails because they had a predictable format.
- steveklabnik 16y agoWhen I said 'stronger' what I really meant was 'one with a larger number of possible hashes', so it'd be harder to resolve them. Not that it'd stop it totally, because he still knows enough about the keyspace... Then again, crypto is not my strong point, so I should probably stop talking.
