Is today really the first day all of y'all are hearing about Safe Browsing and how it works? The _prefix_ of the hash is sent to the blacklist service, not the entire thing.
- TicklishTiger 7y agoThe prefix is just a shorter hash. It specifies a set of urls. The urls that have a hash which begins with that prefix.
- filleduchaos 7y ago> The prefix is just a shorter hash With all due respect, this makes no sense whatsoever. You can't make any meaningful conclusion (in isolation, or even with small enough/random enough datasets) about the content that was hashed from only a part of the resultant hash, that's the whole point of how hashing works.
