Methods of cryptanalytic attacks
Overview
Be able to match an attack to its scenario: brute force, ciphertext-only, known/chosen plaintext, frequency analysis, side-channel/timing, MITM, pass-the-hash, Kerberos exploitation, and ransomware.
Key topics to master
- Brute force, ciphertext-only, known/chosen plaintext
- Frequency analysis, implementation & side-channel, fault injection, timing
- MITM, pass the hash, Kerberos exploitation
- Ransomware
