Or you just inject your own payload and pad the payload until it has a hash collision with the original. At 128M hashes per second you can probably find a payload that works within a day. Since the hashes are published, usually, you know your target so it's just a matter of time.

You do know how hard it would be to find a SHA-256 collision? We haven't even found /one/. Sure, if you used MD5, you could expect a collision, but SHA256?
I've seen them. Just recently I had a short burst of collisions. It happens. Don't underestimate the resolve of someone who wants to grind an axe.
Lol, no. You have not seen a SHA256 collision. One has never been found, by anyone, ever.
Thanks for calling me a liar. I see the quality of people on this thread has suddenly dropped. So, stick with respectful discourse or keep it to yourself. You are clearly not in the industry, just another useless troll.
