Fun with Cryptography
Here’s a little Friday fun from Monty at MR01001101.
He’s got Cryptography and Steganography essays and, here’s the fun bit, puzzles that take the user through a chain of tests through his site.
Puzzles range from simple alphabetic substitution to symbolic images to Egyptian hieroglyphs. Fun stuff, and it’ll give your brain a workout too.
Wonder what’s behind the cryptic sounding name of MR01001101 ? Well, it’s not as mysterious as it sounds:
“Why 01001101? It is binary for M and it arrived when I signed up for my first geocities site drunk. I also bought this domain intoxicated. Will I ever learn?”
