Daniel Joscak: Finding Collisions in Cryptographic Hash Functions, diploma work, MFF UK, Prague, April 21, 2006. Abstract: The main interest of this paper is finding collisions in the hash function MD5. We present our new algorithm based on Wangs et al. methods of finding collisions in MD5. While writing this thesis Stevens and Klima published their fast algorithms for nding collisions. We give a description of these algorithms and the calculation of computianal complexity of all three algorithms.

Give me any three files and I will give you another three with the same MD5 hash... More info The program pack3 was written by Ondrej Mikle. It is based on MD5 collision program by Vlastimil Klima. Usage: pack3 file1 file2 file3 file4 file5 file6 will create two packages, package1.exe and package2.exe. Both will have the same MD5 sum, while package1.exe will extract files 1-3 and package2.exe will extract files 4-6.
