030. How to solve HexCryption, and basics of asymmetric Cryptography

Happy summer, cyberheads! Like many of you, our guests are on break and out of office, so we have some special edition episodes just for the summer. Don't worry, guests will be back to chat with us in the fall. But until then, join us on #CyberChats as we stay cool in the summer heat and dive into the freshest topics in cyber.


In this episode, we give a basic primer on how asymmetric cryptography works. What is asymmetric cryptography? How can two different keys open the same lock? Why do we need asymmetric cryptography? We also take you on a walkthrough of he thought process and some techniques for completing this month's challenge - HexCryption. Did you have a different way to solve it?


Tune in next episode for our next challenge, and more entertaining cyber education. Register below, compete individually or join a team, and look for your name on the leaderboard. Be sure to come back here in two weeks as we work through the Challenge together.


Topics discussed: cryptography, bash tools, hexadecimal number systems, CyberChef.io.
