No you cannot. A collision requires the attacker to create both images. What you are describing is a second preimage attack-- creating a second input with the same hash as a target. There is no currently known tractable way to create second preimages for MD5. |

Obviously nobody should be using MD5, but it can be useful to understand there are circumstances where it's basically reliable unless you have an extremely sophisticated attacker.
