Contest still open, plenty of press fuels the hacker fires

DateThursday, July 12, 2012 at 8:55AM

I’ve heard word that people are working on the Cracking the Agrippa Code contest, but none have yet been successful. I’m looking forward to seeing just how tricky the encryption is, and what creative solutions there are for cracking it.

There has been considerable press coverage on the contest, which should help get plenty of capable hackers trying their hands at it.

 

 

And of course, plenty of Twitter action. Retweet and share the love!
