More problems with hash functions

[Daniel Carosone]

My immediate (and not yet further considered) reaction to the
description of Joux' method was that it might be defeated by something
as simple as adding a block counter to the input each time.

I any case, I see it as a form of dictionary attack, and wonder
whether the same kinds of techniques wouldn't help.
