"Picking R to be the identity is little better than a brute force approach." I see what you mean. But this does not always make sense as the space of passwords and that of hashes may be different in general. Eg we may be dealing with the space of 8 characters long passwords, while the set of hashes is that of binary words of length 32 (say), which is way smaller. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2A01:CB10:8421:1500:88DC:756:D098:141B (talk) 06:16, 30 October 2021 (UTC) Reply[reply]
