I keep going around telling people I'm interested in crypto (and I am) but it seemed a good idea to brush up on the practical application of it. So I figured I'd roll through the Matasano cryptography challenges and post some solutions up on my github account. :)
This is pretty much a live blog of me using python as an overpowered calculator for a set of challenges. I'm tweaking the helper functions between challenges and may ultimately break things between iterations. This code is not fit for any particular purpose. I'm just documenting my path through some stuff.
