Comment on A call to bring hash substring search into password cracking

Comments

I argue that hash substring search activities (vanity hashes, partial collisions, full collisions, etc.) should be brought into the major password-cracking projects - economy of scale, etc.

In a way, password cracking is a specific subset of hash substring search -- in which we are searching for the entire hash instead of a substring.
