the title is a bit misleading IMO; it doesn't generate a collision, it just generates a rainbow table and looks for matches on the fly.

- Retr0id 4y agoDid the title change since you commented? I don't find the current version to be misleading - "cracking", although somewhat vague, does not imply collision. (Title at time of writing this comment: "Learn Rust by implementing a SHA-1 hash cracker")
- stefs 4y agono, it's still the same. i had the impression, but i guess you're right. i did expect a collision attack and was slightly irritated when it turned out to be what it is. that said, i'm not even correct, it's not a rainbow table but a dictionary attack. my bad!
