Both actually: Time-based attacks exploiting the fact that we have fast networks, and rainbow/brute-force attacks exploiting CPU speed.

- tptacek 16y agoIt is not a flaw in new hashing algorithms that they run fast. Running fast is their design goal. Timing attacks don't exploit properties of hash algorithms; in fact, they would prefer compute to be slower (and networks to be faster).
