md5 is still adequate for accidental/random error detection because the universe doesn't (usually) spend many hundreds of hours on hundreds of GPUs to try to corrupt your data without you noticing :)

- 0x0 15y agoFair point. I just kind of assumed that any collision would require quite a lot of flipped bits, because usually just one flipped bit is enough to cause an "avalanche" of changes in the hash sum. Would it be possible to find a collision where only one bit is flipped in the input?
