still i don't see how finding a collision caused by two data points (which are congruential no doubt) will help.
we will still have unknown M and two different ni and nj.
TMM, thanks for participation.
Now, the only way to find modulus which i spotted is following:
function F can be substituted by an integer number, which is its result. Therefore the F function is equal to simply (integer mod M) and the result will be numbers from 0 to M-1, like if M is 13, we...
