Assignment - Need to solve these puzzle (wargames) based on cryptography and network security.
1. A Tale of Two Cities
It was the best of times, it was the worst of times, it was the age of wisdom, it was the age of foolishness, it was the epoch of belief, it was the epoch of incredulity, it was the season of Light, it was the season of Darkness, it was the spring of hope, it was the winter of despair, we had everything before us, we had nothing before us, we were all going direct to Heaven, we were all going direct the other way - in short, the period was so far like the present period, that some of its noisiest authorities insisted on its being received, for good or for evil, in the superlative degree of comparison only. Decrypt!
2. Where's Johnny
McAfee is playing mind games again, has the feds thinking he's next level. Where did they think they got him, and what was his apparent disguise?
3. Different Helmsman
Two international criminal organisations are planning a bank heist. To secure their communications, they have established a secret key using Diffie-Hellman. Unfortunately they have made a rather fundamental error somewhere along the way.
g = 5
p = 35317
A = pow(g, a, p) = 2713
B = pow(g, b, p) = 9129
secret = pow(A, b, p)
Calculate and submit their shared secret.
4. Pyfuscation
After recent security breaches, InSecureCorp have decided to improve their security significantly.
They have a new idea about how to secure their passwords, unfortunately it seems to have been too secure and they've been unable to recover them. A sample file has been provided for you to demonstrate whether or not you can successfuly extract the flag.
