In cryptography and computer security, a length extension attack is a type of attack where an attacker can use `Hash(message1)` and the length of message1 to calculate `Hash(message1 ∥ message2)` for an attacker-controlled message2.
TL;DR: given a hash that is composed of a string with an unknown prefix, an attacker can append to the string and produce a new hash that still has the unknown prefix.
An example:
