12 Very interesting. The first useful SHA-1 collision was, if I remember, done
13 in 2015, and subverted an HTTPS certificate (though not one which had been

17 Seeing someone manage to do it in a garage a number of years before it was
18 cosidered feasible should, hopefully, make you have more conservative
19 estimates of the strength of modern cryptography.
