As one of the 200 incompletes mentioned, I gotta say Sean Devlin at
Matasano is top notch. The puzzles are fun, possibly too much fun. It's
easy to wander off into the weeds and spend a lot of time thinking
through and testing the non-puzzle implications. I hope to get through
the puzzles eventually, but I'm terribly slow and it will take me a very
long time. Even if you're a sec-idiot like me, the puzzles are a wonderful
way to spend time learning.

- switch33 14y agoAny idea why he's doing this stuff only primarily by e-mail? It'd be great if this stuff was online like in a blog or whatnot. I'd like to take the time and look over the crypto challenges.
- tptacek 14y agoWe want to actually teach people how to do stuff, instead of giving people something they can toss around in message board and twitter arguments; we also want to track (in a macro sense) how people do with them, and to be able to tell people when we add more challenges (I'm working on 42-48 next week).
- switch33 14y agoI like that answer. \O/ Also sent an e-mail.
- losvedir 14y agoThis sounds like an amazing win-win scenario you've got here. People can have fun and learn more about security and cryptography, and you guys get a channel from which to hire the best and brightest. I sent Sean an email. Even if I'm not in that latter category, it still sounds like a great chance to learn a little something about a field which intimidates but interests me.
