CrypTool

I'd like to take some time to mention CrypTool. For those of you who don't know about it and use it already CryptTool is a program for Windows (there is also a Linux port in on going development which is available)
which offers a practical introduction to cryptography as well as many tools to assist with the development and use of advanced cryptographic methods. It is free, open source and in my opinion, a must have for anybody who is interested in learning the fundamentals.

  1. I've been reading about cryptography for the past year or so now because my job might require me to investigate cyber crimes. And I thank you for posting about CrypTool. It seems a bit complicated though. Can you recommend a more simple program (preferably free) or should I just grit my teeth and use CrypTool?
