Is there a way to reverse a truncated 24-bit SHA256 hash?
| i don't know
| I'm in college for videogames/computer science and I don't understand OP
| ...trucated to 24-bits? probably not, that's like trying to build a car with 4 wheels and nothing else
| more like building a car with just 4 wheels and you have no idea what a car is amirite
| "truncated" out of the way, you can't reverse hashes. the creation of a hash is a one-way transaction. for example, recently someone found two files with the same SHA1 hash. theoretically it may be possible for the same to occur to SHA256.
| Reverse it to what? There is no way to ensure that the "reversed" value is the original since there is overlap in the hash space.
