Ever heard of side channel attacks?🤔
Especially with IoT crypto (car...), it could be potentially dangerous. In a course of my master program, I was able to successfully attack the AES alternative ChaCha20👏. More about this in our paper => https://github.com/bstnbuck/ChaCha20-CPA
And no, ChaCha20 as well as AES do not become insecure with that!😅 Countermeasures are available and can also be implemented. And with your own web server, this is not needed at all...
VShred -- A simple tool to securely delete files and directories, implemented in #Vlang.
v1.4.0 with some performance improvements and better flag handling is released!

The crypto hash function RIPEMD-160 ( can be found at Bitcoin among others), the block cipher Twofish (AES finalist, available in Veracrypt, key-sizes: 128, 192, 256 bit) and the lesser known IGE block cipher mode are now implemented in V-crypto!

(X)#Salsa20 a stream cipher invented by Daniel J. Bernstein has now found its way to #v_crypto.
As a finalist in the #eSTREAM competition, it is still considered secure today and is very similar to the meanwhile better-known ChaCha stream cipher. Salsa20 is equipped with the number of rounds 8, 12, 20 and variable counters.. Implemented in pure #V!
Without #passwords, almost nothing works online. Fact. I have created #PHAuiS, which provides an overview of software and the password hashing algorithms they use.
Contributions welcome!🙏

V's crypto library is growing again. New additions are ChaCha20, Poly1305 and ChaCha20-Poly1305. Thanks to the contributors!
An overview of implemented and (by me) planned crypto algorithms, protocols, etc. I have created V-crypto.

One of my customers received 4 #Pikabot downloaders in one day. E-mail with relevant content and an typical encrypted ZIP with JS file (downloader) attached. Really nice... not👏

Simulate a kill chain with HereItsSoEasy and thus practice the case of emergency. All this in one Gist... Including ransomware, bind shell and dropper script.
