How I cracked the NSA Crypto Challenge in Record Time
The NSA recently released an Android App called the "NSA Crypto Challenge".
Being in the security field, I was very interested in this app. So of course I decided to give it a try, and see how quickly I could break the codes. Being ambitious, I decided to jump straight into Advanced mode. My score? 2 minutes, 43 seconds.
Now for those of you who have played this game on advanced mode, you're probably amazed by the speed which I was able to decode this. For those who haven't played it yet, let me show you an example puzzle on "Advanced" mode.
