Read Original

This technical article analyzes a specific PBKDF2-HMAC-SHA1 hash collision. It explains the cryptographic principle behind the collision, where a key longer than the hash function's block size is hashed first. The post includes a Node.js script to verify the collision and discusses the implications for password hashing security.
