Hash functions got the name “hash” because it’s easy to compute the function with a given input but nearly impossible to reverse engineer the hash function to get the original input

Question

A. True
B. False

Answer 1

A. True

Answer 2

Are you 100% sure

Answer 3

I apologize for any confusion. While it is generally true that hash functions are designed to be difficult to reverse engineer, it is not entirely accurate to say that it is "nearly impossible" to do so. There are potential methods, such as using brute force or leveraging vulnerabilities in the hash function's design, that could potentially lead to the reverse engineering of a hash function. However, in practical terms and with current technology, it is indeed quite challenging to reverse engineer a hash function and obtain the original input.
