May 31, 2013 at 11:11 comment added Smit Johnth @user236501 I think you misunderstood that. You can't change data before unknown values and get a correct hash.
Dec 5, 2012 at 9:03 comment added Thomas @user236501 Possibly, but you wouldn't learn anything about the constant value doing that.

Oct 31, 2012 at 5:19 comment added user236501 I found a SHA1 extension attack, if said the hash format is (a||b||constant value), is it possible that I create another hash code (c||b||constant value) without knowing the constant value.
Oct 31, 2012 at 5:00 comment added Thomas @user236501 No, but if the constant value is short enough we'll reach it eventually, by going "try every 1-character combination... OK we've tried them all and nothing worked, move on to every 2-character combination" and so on.
Oct 31, 2012 at 0:48 comment added user236501 But we don't know the message length still possible? Any message length will still hash into same bit output right? it is a 40 character output.
