Attack the Real Thing: Introduction to AES Cryptanalysis

This write-up introduces readers to block cipher cryptanalysis through a fun learning journey centered around attacking AES (Advanced Encryption Standard). Instead of creating an artificial example, they choose real-world challenges for better engagement. To begin, head over to the ‘Set 1’ page on their website and first understand how AES works by implementing it yourself with provided guidance.

The content creator behind this project is David Wong from Cryptologie. If you finish Block Breakers and seek more challenges like these, explore similar platforms such as Cryptopals or Microcorruption. For further exploration on cryptography topics in general, check out the linked Reddit wiki page.

Block Breakers itself belongs to a larger initiative called ‘Cryptography Services,’ which operates under NCC Group’s umbrella. Additionally, they have established partnerships with other notable names like Cryptopals and Microcorruption for enhanced learning experiences in this field.\
