This can help a bit, but won't solve the general problem.

Not just this user would be able to run the attacks, but any user who
also has a file with the same sha1sum stored locally.
For files which are still publicly available, we could provide download
links and conversion instructions to get those files, e.g., for the
rockyou list: (sorted by usage frequency, compressed):

Some of these files can be fetched prior to the contest.
Some others will be added during the contest.
