Re: Dangerous bug or not?!!!! (Score: 1)

(User Info | Send a Message) http://castlecops.com | I agree with what you said in your first reply, so what is wrong in repeating it in my own words? Diversity is a good thing.
Insofar as being incorrect, in practice by the computing power we have it certainly is not probable that another value can be found to create the same hash calue.
However in theory it is plausible that another value can be found to match the same hash value generated by the MD5 encryption.
You stated the probability of it happening as a figure above. There is no definitive "it cannot be done" statement. A number is provided, that again, by practice in today's standards dictates the chances of it occuring are close to impossible, but not improbable.
Lets not forget... in the past folks have thought:
- the world is flat
- we'll never land on the moon
- blackholes don't exist
Look, it took over 300 years for a working proof of Fermat's Last Theorem to be properly written.
What may not be acheived today, may certainly well be attained tomorrow.
It is only a matter of time.
But coming back to 'time', by today's standard the chances are slim to none. Then again, so is winning the lottery. |
