If anyone wants to know the code simply look in the comments! hth -Sean SHA: Secure Hashing Algorithm https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DMtFhACPnTY Hardware Hacking: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eOPLQxGNmHA https://www.facebook.com/computerphile https://twitter.com/computer_phile This video was filmed and edited by Sean Riley.
