Description
TL;DR: A password-storage comparison that puts four hash families in front of practical cracking tools and examines where older choices fail.
About This Document
The paper surveys password attacks such as interception, credential stuffing, spraying, and social engineering, then compares MD5, SHA-1, SHA-2, and SHA-3 for stored-password protection. It uses Hashcat and rainbow-table attacks to examine practical exposure and argues for SHA-3 as the stronger option among those tested.
Why Bitcoin People May Care
This is not a Bitcoin protocol paper. Its value to Bitcoin readers is narrower and technical: hash functions, collision resistance, one-way transformations, and the danger of treating every algorithm with ‘SHA’ in the name as interchangeable security dust.
