The number possible combinations could be as many as sand particles in earth. What would be the chance that the same individuals pick the same sand particle.
You are way off, try the whole visible universe's atoms, thats just how big the number is.

Very, very small, but its still possible. Just wondering if anyone has found one yet. Apparently not

There are currently no known SHA256 hash collisions. If there are, we're in serious shit.

I was wondering if anyone knew any sha256 collisions, where the encrypted hash the same for 2 different string. I think I know that its possible, because there is no limit to the length of the string you can encrypt, and there is a limit to the amount of sha256 hashes, so I was wondering if anyone knew any.
