Hash: SHA1
so let me get this straight, if moore's law is 'true' than a mathmetical
analysis of hash sizes will result in it being ~30 years before md5 will
be susceptible to bf/dict/b-day attacks, but it will be about about 80
before sha1 will be susceptible to cracks of that level. I know this is
sort of OT but I couldn't think of anyone more qualified than the
experts of the crypto software I am using.
