It is necessary to optimize hash codes to prevent birthday attacks. First of all, it is necessary to know what hash codes are, what birthday attacks are, and how to attack them. In this article, there are two ways to avoid birthday attacks: enlarge hash space andselection of magic number. After the implementation of different code and different magic number selection, the most stable and secure one will be chosen.
