<h1>Cryptography</h1>
<p><strong>Date</strong>: 2023-02-13</p>
<p><strong>Difficulty</strong>: Intermediate</p>
<p><strong>Delivered By</strong>: Daniel Ledger</p>
<h2>Overview</h2>
<p>In this session we will introduce the field of Cryptography and a range of common cryptographic
vulnerabilities and how to exploit them. Topics to be covered include:</p>
<ul>
<li>Asymmetric Encryption (RSA, SRP)</li>
<li>Symmetric Encryption (AES)</li>
<li>Signatures (DSA)</li>
<li>Hashing (SHA-256)</li>
</ul>
<p>This session will involve exploiting on said algorithms.</p>
<h2>Prerequisites</h2>
<p>No prior knowledge is required for this session.
Some challenges can be done simply with a web browser,
others will require Hashcat and a scripting language,
so having a working Kali VM is highly recommended.</p>
<p>If you haven't already installed Kali, please do so before the session:</p>
<ul>
<li><a href="https://www.kali.org/get-kali/">Kali VM</a></li>
</ul>
