Hi,
In MD5Init(3) there's a paragraph that says:
"""MD5 has not yet (1999-02-11) been broken, but sufficient attacks
have been made that its security is in some doubt. The attacks on both
MD4 and MD5 are both in the nature of finding ``collisions'' - that is,
multiple inputs which hash to the same value; it is still unlikely for an
attacker to be able to determine the exact original input given a hash
value.
"""
Shouldn't it be updated or at least the date of the statement moved to
somewhere in this century?
