The Matasano Challenges were a set of challenges designed to increase understanding of weaknesses in implementations of cryptosystems. In this workshop we will work through a selection of challenges that will give exposure to a variety of attacks. The goal of this workshop is to allow participants to more carefully consider decisions when designing systems that use cryptography as well as how to assess other systems.
Participation in this workshop will require some programming skills to conduct the attacks.
Participants should have a laptop with a development environment for the language of their choice. They should also have burp suite or another MITM proxy of their choice.
