Pentest CTF Crypto
Purpose
Analyze and break cryptographic implementations, including classical ciphers, RSA weak keys, and hash extensions.
Core Workflow
- Cipher Identification: Identify the type of encryption or encoding used (e.g., Base64, Caesar, RSA).
- Classical Cracking: Brute-force or analyze frequency for classical ciphers using
ciphey or online tools.
- RSA Attacks: Check for common RSA weaknesses (small e, small factors) using
RsaCtfTool.
- Hash Analysis: Identify hash types and attempt cracking or length extension attacks using
hashcat or hashpump.
- Math/Primes: Solve mathematical problems related to cryptography using
sagemath.
