This article summarizes publicly known attacks against cryptographic hash functions. Note that not all entries may be up to date. For a summary of other hash function parameters, see comparison of cryptographic hash functions.
Table color key
edit No attack successfully demonstrated — attack only breaks a reduced version of the hash or requires more work than the claimed security level of the hash
Attack demonstrated in theory — attack breaks all rounds and has lower complexity than security claim
Attack demonstrated in practice — complexity is low enough to be actually used

Attacks on hashed passwords
editHashes described here are designed for fast computation and have roughly similar speeds.[31] Because most users typically choose short passwords formed in predictable ways, passwords can often be recovered from their hashed value if a fast hash is used. Searches on the order of 100 billion tests per second are possible with high-end graphics processors.[32][33] Special hashes called key derivation functions have been created to slow brute force searches. These include pbkdf2, bcrypt, scrypt, argon2, and balloon.
