I am curious to see how this will work for those like yourself that make CRUD apps. I didn't go to school for programming, but self-taught. I'm afraid it'd be over my head?
The best line: We haven’t done any consulting in a while. We will continue doing no consulting, to the best of our inability.
Having done other CTFs and puzzles like Matsano / Stripe's, I have found the research part is quite enjoyable. I have little to no knowledge of crypto but researching and solving some of the Matsano challenges was extremely rewarding.
With that said I found the information is pretty thinly spread and it is often hard to find relevant information to the problem domain, particularly with regards to crypto, so I hope they include good starting points for problem research.
