So i've held off on asking this for awhile, as it seems to be a question that would just answer itself given enough time and effort, but what the heck. First off, excuse the extens…

Hey actually i just thought of something, how about a leader board like you have with microcorruption, where everyone can share their solutions and discuss different ways to approa…

I actually really like this idea, decrypting a solution would mean you would of had to come up with one first, then you could check against the preferred method.

I realize however you do it would be a compromise of some sorts, for what its worth how you explained it here seems to be the best solution, thanks for the explanation!

I should of added, i'm referring to the matasano crypto challenges www.cryptopals.com

Seriously. I've learnt more programming in the past two days going through the first sets than i ever have before. I can't help but feel that solutions would ruin that, the need to…

Thanks malcom, to be honest im actually looking for things that help me move from my modest scripting background in system administration into understanding the actual systems prog…

Any particular reason behind that choice?

I'm currently a sysadmin, with limited c/python programming (mostly scripting if im honest) however recently my job has been dealing more and more with very nuanced malware threats…

slightly off topic but, like your appsec reading list above, are there any crypto resources you value for someone taking the self learning route into real world crypto?

Thanks a lot for the response, you've given me a lot to go and research.

It's pretty old i guess now (2012) but i'd still like to able to understand the adaptive chosen plaintext attack on AES-ECB. Specifically, how it's explained in this video from Tho…

Colin - sorry iv just now read the 3rd link and seen when it was posted, looks like ill wait a bit and see what gets announced.

Thanks colin. Truthfully, id love to do those challenges, i saw the link about three months ago and emailed cryptopals at matasano around then, and again about a month ago, sadly i…

I would of hoped that faulty crypto wouldnt be implemented, although there is that old saying that properly implemented DES can be stronger than poorly implemented AES. Truthfully …

I see so much conflicting information and opinion on this i thought id just come out and ask. If you were to getting started in breaking applications, and your interest was specifi…
