Does fixing partial bits of a SHA256 hash increase the probability of finding a preimage usi...
For example, my goal is to find a preimage so that the first 76-bit output of the hash are all consisted of the number 1. …

If I allow arbitrary initial hash values for SHA-256, what would be the weaknesses?
The initial hash values (IV) of SHA256 are fixed. However, let's say I modify the SHA256 hash function to allow the attacker to use arbitrary IVs rather than fixed IVs. … Are there any other examples of potential weaknesses/attacks that would ensue if I allow the attacker to choose arbitrary IVs for the SHA256 hash function? …
