Hi,

as your intention should be to learn encryption and decryption I would *not* recommend things like PGP or other advanced stuff. What to learn if it is unbreakable for the others in your class.

You should take a look at http://www.cryptool.com/. With this system you can test many of the "historic" ciphers and give the other classmates a chance to break it.


regards, Karsten

I'm taking a forensics class and we are learning encryption techniques and 
possible cracking techniques.  We were tasked to encrypt a file then we will 
trade file and try to hack each others.

Does anyone know of some good freeware/opensource/trial cracking and/or encryption utilities....

PGP, Blowfish, DES5 etc.
