Hacking Cryptography builds your understanding of cryptography by revealing the “lockpicks” that bad actors use to exploit security protocols, firewalls, and other cryptography-based protection schemes. The book dives deep into each cryptographic exploit, explaining complex concepts in detail through real-world analogies, code annotations, and pseudo-code. You’ll explore historical examples where popular cryptography has failed, such as the breaking of the WEP protocol, and see what impact those failures have had on modern cryptography. In Hacking Cryptography you’ll find unique guidance for creating strong cryptography that can withstand attempts to exploit it including:• DUAL_EC_DRBG random number generator using Go’s elliptic curve library• Exploiting the RC4 stream cipher, as used in WEP• Block ciphers for padding oracle attacks and manipulation of initialization-vectors• Exploiting hash functions by using extension and rainbow table attacks• Implementing RSA key generation using the Miller-Rabin primality test and exploiting it using the Weiner attack• Exploiting PKCS1.5 padding by using Bleichenbacher's chosen-ciphertext attack• Implementing Diffie-Hellman Key Exchange and breaking it using a MITM parameter injection attack
