I don't know how the collision detector works, but in general, you don't even need binary files do you? Just add a comment in a source file at the end of some line with near-arbitrary data. Bonus points if it's preceded by enough whitespace to fool the reader into thinking there's nothing there.
- bawolff 4y agoI was just going on its a lot harder to trick a human in a text format. Most collisions involve a bunch of binary data that isn't valid utf-8, which looks very conspicious in a text file.
- layer8 4y agoYou can do a lot with various whitespace characters, see for example https://github.com/not-an-aardvark/lucky-commit https://github.com/not-an-aardvark/lucky-commit.
- bawolff 4y agoOh definitely, but doing that (bruteforcing using only whitespace) for all 160 bits of sha-1 is way beyond our capability.
