> But would the the PNGs also have the same MD5 hash?

Yes, I could construct this trivially, because MD5 is broken.



Ah, OK, I think I misunderstood the article. If you are supplying both images to me, you could do that with the MD5 hashes. Although, I think if you could get them to generate the same bitmap, then the attack has been at least partially mitigated, by definition. Not completely, I admit, but I think it wouldn't qualify as the same attack shown in the article.
