Hash functions are all around us, being used for a variety of applications such as data integrity verification, de-duplication algorithms and as pointer generators in hash-tables. In this session a security researcher from GE Digital will discuss and demonstrate the differences between cryptographic and none-cryptographic hashes, generating collisions and performing cache poisoning and timing attacks against applications that use hashing naively.
Attendees could perform the learnt attacks on a pre-configured environment during the workshop.
