Show HN: CryptoHack – a fun platform for learning cryptography

This is really cool, I discovered hackthebox last year and love the gamified nature of it and how well it resonates with younger people.

I got to the top 10 in HTB for a while and was pretty surprised that I was probably one of the oldest people in the rankings, lots of high school and uni students.

Have you thought about potential ways to monetise this through classroom "ladders" for students to attempt alone and then walk through in class? Company trainings would probably be another route

Hey all, I would like to present a side project which I have been building with a friend.

We bonded over our shared passion for solving crypto CTF challenges, and found that infosec people are often curious about crypto - but see it as an intimidating topic. We wanted to build a "HackTheBox of crypto", where users are encouraged to learn about how crypto works, and how to break it on a fun gamified platform.

We have categories on RSA, block ciphers, ECC, mathematics and other schemes, and will be continuing to release new challenges to stay up-to-date with the latest attacks and techniques.
