Granted. But what would those "somebody" find? Maybe it is possible to forge a message that would have the same hash as another, given, message. What is the probability of such a forged message to make any sense? More, to make any sense in an "interesting" way for those "somebody"? I fully agree that the basis for non-repudiation has been shaken: someone may claim that (s)he did not sign a message, since it may be possible to forge. But I won't lose sleep because of that.
One possibility is brute forcing password hashes. If one has this hash '988881adc9fc3655077dc2d4d757d480b5ea0e11', less time is now needed to brute force it and gain access to something. - Vincent _______________________________________________ Full-Disclosure - We believe in it.
