Hong Wi Yew's Diary Week 12

Week 12

on this week, other than doing the task my group leader have assigned, I found some information on attacks:-

Brute Force Attack,
Birthday Attack,
Collision Attack,
Dictionary Attack,
Distinguishing Attack,
Side Channel Attack, (impossible to achieve by us)
A5/1 (known as plain text attack)
Avalanche effect (also known as snowball effect)

Where some of them are known to find pre-image collision and collision. While looking into this few properties, I decided to look into more useful hash properties.
