Want to get into cryptanalysis but don't have any experience? Want to exploit a crypto bug but don't have the chops or don't have the time? FeatherDuster and its core library Cryptanalib are designed to help you perform cryptanalysis faster and easier.
This workshop will help you learn to use FeatherDuster,to write Python scripts which take advantage of common crypto vulnerabilities with functions built into Cryptanalib, and how to turn those scripts into FeatherDuster module
