Take your favorite hash function, and view it as inducing a directed graph on the set of its possible outputs. Finding a cycle is hard! (except, most hash functions map 0->0 for "nothing up my sleeves" appeal)

But also, it's ridiculously hard to answer simple questions about such graphs, such as listing its nodes.
