Rainbow Table Attack
Unsalted fast password hashes can often be reversed with precomputed lookup databases. Reverse the given MD5 hash. MD5…
One-Time Pad Key Reuse Attack
A one-time pad is safe only when the key is used once. Reusing the key lets known plaintext recover other plaintexts.…
Predictable Randomness
Pseudo-random output with a fixed seed is reproducible and must not be used for cryptographic secrets. Flag generation…
