What it does
Cryptopals provides grouped cryptography challenges derived from weaknesses in real systems and cryptographic constructions.
Start with the basics set and implement each exercise before jumping to advanced protocols. The authors expect proficient coding in a language of your choice, with no prior cryptography knowledge. The sets become progressively harder; keep earlier implementations and tests as later challenges build on them.
