To attack MD5,the attacker can choose any set of messages and work on these offline on a dedicated computing facility to find a collision.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

MD5 is vulnerable to collision attacks where the attacker can choose any set of messages and work on finding a collision offline using dedicated computing facilities. This means that the attacker can find two different messages that have the same MD5 hash value, which undermines the integrity of the cryptographic hash function. Therefore, MD5 should no longer be used for security purposes where collision resistance is required.
