The best kittens, technology, and video games blog in the world. I wanted to give it a go, there was just one tiny problem - in Ja*ascript world you can't just gem install a few things and run them like that. Nope, painless setup is just a crazy ruby idea that never got much traction anywhere else. In Ja*ascript universe everything I found some boilerplate example for Imba, but it was broken on so many levels, I had to start pretty much from scratch. to avoid doing anything weird. What's obviously missing is some kind of testing framework, so PRs I haven't used it for anything more complicated than just another TODO app yet, so I don't know if there are any issues. Just report them on Thanks to all the brave souls who answered webpack questions on Stack Overflow - somehow I managed to duct tape working boilerplate out of There are no answers below, but some serious hints which might make it too easy. archive, to test for basic Unix scripting skills. This time using RAR. MONORSA (10 POINTS) It's RSA-encrypted message, but it uses only one prime, not two. This is extremely insecure, and can be trivially broken, but you still need to do some math. you know how bcrypt works, which isn't quite the same as plain hashes, so it was causing a bit of confusion. encrypted message. Also a lot of other people's public keys, all generated using same bad RNG. If two keys share a prime it's easy to break them, even if direct factoring isn't viable. PYTHON (25 POINTS) Small bit of reverse engineering - small Python pas*word validator obfuscated with one of online tools for it. MULTIRSA (30 POINTS) A little known fact about RSA is that it works just fine with more than two primes. So this challenge uses 16 - which is fine, except key size was not adjusted appropriately, so each of those primes is small enough to break it. BINARY (35 POINTS) Binary pas*word validator, provided in two versions (Linux and OSX) for convenience. It was compiled with -O3 which made its encrypting loops unroll, and what was very trivial code turned
