On a side note, what are the current stats for the Matasano crypto challenge? How many have finished all 6?
- fixxer 13y agoOn a side note to my side, how many are psyched about Breaking Bad tonight?! (seriously, downvoted for asking about stats on cryptopals? it is relevant -- #6 has two DSA questions!)
- tptacek 13y agoI'm a season behind on Breaking Bad; I don't like watching half-seasons and would rather just watch the whole thing once it's all on Netflix. So: not too excited. 63 people have finished the crypto challenges; about 9000 people have started them.
- rwg 13y agoWhenever I see tptacek tweet the current stats, I try to update this spreadsheet: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/ccc?key=0AscYGzcM4zJNdHRmVEN2SDlpbGxXT2s5WU1VYmFybFE#gid=0 https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/ccc?key=0AscYGzcM4zJNdHR... I've probably missed a few tweets and typo'd a few numbers along the way, but it should be mostly accurate. Note the tabs (at bottom left) for a derived speadsheet (percent of participants at each level) and a chart.
- tptacek 13y agoFor those watching from the stands, 'rwg also sent us a spreadsheet that does AES. Entirely in cell formulas. He also sent us a Postscript file that appeared to be a visualization of AES state but was in fact a pure-Postscript implementation of AES that rendered itself into the Postscript document.
- rwg 13y agoTo be fair, I've only tweeted screenshots of the AES spreadsheet -- you'll be getting the actual .xlsx file with my set 6 answers. AES128.applescript is waiting in the responses@ and cryptopals@ mailboxes right now, along with my set 5 answers. I don't know what I'll do for set 7 yet. Maybe Excel implementations of the SHA-3 finalists...
