Hope this doesn't go gainst the rules:
Interesting cryptography challenge for classic encryption lovers like
me. Try your hand against Vigenère's "Chiffre Indechiffrable", Windows
98 security bugs and the Nazi Enigma (ever wanted to see if you could
improve on Alan Turing's Bombe?). The last level is the most difficult
and this explains why only 4 people out of 500 have managed to
complete this game yet.
