Mass generation of collisions is much easier if document structure
is taken into account, e.g. for PDF it is sufficient to compute
collision block once and it is possible to generate different PDFs
with the same SHA1 hash.

On-line service is available together with detailed description:
https://alf.nu/SHA1

So danger of SHA1 collision is much closer than
9,223,372,036,854,775,808 SHA1 computations or 1 110-GPU year.
