This is a client for the game-shaped exercises which are part of Crypto 101, the introductory book on cryptography by lvh.
The short version: use tox.
The long version: see the extra notes for merlyn.
A much nicer version you can actually play around with.
- stanczyk is now continuously tested, thanks to Travis CI. Coverage is measured thanks to Coveralls.
- Solution notification: when an exercise is solved, stanczyk will say something.
- Exercise listing and exercise details listing commands.
- Proxy commands. You can now connect to remote virtual servers.
- Nicer terminal line overwriting routines, which makes it less obvious that stuff is happening asynchronously (sometimes).
- When starting, a nice table is displayed with all of the available commands, plus a short description of what they do.
I've made a short video that roughly coincides with this version.
Initial version. Contains a nice basic manhole with no extra commands.
stanczyk is named after Stańczyk, a historical Polish jester.
Other Crypto 101 projects (such as merlyn, arthur and clarent) were
already named after things from the court of Arthurian legend; I
picked Stańczyk because:
- Poland is awesome.
- This project looks simple, but it's actually pretty clever; perhaps more than its peers.
- Poland is awesome.
The banner is an excerpt from the famous painting of Stańczyk by Jan Matejko.
