Maybe overly pedantic to expand on this, but since we’re in an ELI5 context: the attack vector is brute forcing hash collisions. Making it computationally slow for attackers is a hindrance because the relative value of a collision diminishes over time (depending on the value of their target).
- rcxdude 4y agoIt's not really hash collisions: SHA256 is still too secure for that, you're unlikely to find a value which isn't the password used to generate it. It's just brute forcing the password
