0Sakis wants to verify that a software package that he downloaded matches the original version. What hashing tool should he use if he believes that technically sophisticated attackers may have replaced the software package with a version containing a backdoor?
Answer Options
A
MD5
B
3DES
C
SHA1
D
SHA 256
Correct Answer: D
Explanation
Intentional collisions have been created with MD5, and a real-world collision attack against SHA-1 was announced in early 2017. 3DES is not a hashing tool, leaving SHA-256 as the only secure choice in this list.
