Cryptography Sub forum - Thangorn - May 30, 2013

I regularly read the cryptography section of the forum, mostly because I am interested in cryptography.

It is probably one of the busiest sections on this forum and there are lots of LQ posts on this forum of people requesting their server for their RAT or keylogger to be crypted.

This really makes it difficult for a lot of members interested in actual cryptography to read up about any real cryptography posts.

My suggestion, for whether anybody agrees or not, just a simple suggestion is to create a sub forum called "crypters" or something similar just to help filter out these mass request threads. Looking down the page right now

15 Threads are visible (Dependant on the number of stickies, cryptography has a lot of paid stickies which mirrors its popularity)

Of these 15 threads, 8 of these threads are either people asking about which crypter to buy or whether somebody can FUD (Fully undetectable) their crypter.

I apologize if this has previously been suggested, it's just something that has been bugging me especially when cryping requests doesn't directly have anything to with cryptography, it's more a small favour or service which has it's own appropriate section.

Thanks for taking the time to listen 😉

We will get a LOT of kids posting sir like:

"Decrypt this MD5 Please"

And not enough legitimate threads made to give people a better understanding of cryptography

Well that's exactly what I believe needs reducing or at least filtering down, it's all one big jumble or either Crypting requests or Hash cracking requests. If one or even both of those become sub forums then the main cryptography forum would remain for genuine cryptography threads.

Renaming the "Cryptography, Encryption, and Decryption" section would do the trick I guess.
The title with the word "cryptography" is now a bit misleading since it has nothing to do with it (directly) anymore, I believe that might be it.

I support this. It would be nice to see some proper cryptography threads.

Inconclusive.

I support this idea, would be great to see some actual threads about cryptography.

Very happy to see some support behind this! :)

I think you should do it like this.
Sub Section for request for Crypters.

The section mods here are a little trigger happy with the close button so no surprise there.

Anywho, I support this suggestion.

Thanks for your suggestion but it will not be implemented.
