    Nobody is wanting to make a magical algorithm that gets the input to the hash.

    I mean, there’s provably at least one person who does, but there are infinite inputs that lead to the same hash.

    Breaking a hash is being able to easily create new input data that leads to the same hash (with or without the constraint of needing the original input data)
