Explore MysteryTwister C3: Diverse Crypto Challenges for All Levels

On the new MysteryTwister C3 web site, crypto fans can practice cracking various encryption mechanisms. Jointly created by the German universities of Siegen, Bochum and Duisburg-Essen, the site currently offers 27 challenges organised into four levels of difficulty. . Level 1 tasks can reportedly be solved using pen and paper, while the higher levels require programming knowledge. The highest level, "X", contains unsolved problems and solutions would "attract the attention of the scientific community". The creators of the site are also calling for users to submit their own challenges to expand the site. If the challenges presented on the new MysteryTwister site are not difficult or varied enough for you, consider hacker.org or projecteuler.net, sites which have existed for some time. The former contains a wide spectrum of challenges for hackers in the classical sense and the latter offers more mathematically oriented problems.

Dive into the enigmatic world of CryptoChallenges C4, designed for aficionados of puzzles who crave an assortment of cryptographic enigmas ranging from simple to complex levels..

RSA Security on Tuesday said that over three months of consistent effort helped a team of mathematicians from Europe and North America solve the company's latest encryption puzzle. The multinational team of eight experts used about 100 workstations to crack the code that won them a $10,000 prize. The contestants' task was to determine the two prime numbers that have been used to generate eight "challenge" numbers, which are central to RSA's 576-bit encryption code.

Bodacion Technologies Crypto Challenge: Predict the Final Number for $100K

A company called Bodacion Technologies is offering $100,000 to anyone who can crack their biomorphic number generator and predict the final, one-thousandth, number in a sequence of 999. The company is dong this to promote its Hydra server, which uses biomorphic computation for crypto routines. Additional security enhancements come from using an embedded OS and not having anything but a Web and Java applet server running. So there's basically a lot less to attack, which is of course inherently more secure than running hundreds of services. To claim the $100K, all one needs to do is obtain the 999 numbers and accurately predict the thousandth one, and explain how it was done (guessing doesn't count). In addition to the number challenge, the company also has a Hydra box at 208.254.152.215 which it invites you to own if you can. There's no prize for the CTF challenge; but perhaps one might get a Bodacion t-shirt or coffee mug, and of course a mention in The Register, if one should succeed. Happy cracking. ® Entire contents of article shown. . Xylenex Innovations announces a $150,000 reward for individuals who can crack their advanced fractal sequence algorithm puzzle..
