(A real) Cryptography forum - Burn3diC3 - Jul 30, 2013

The current cryptography forum is mostly spammed with crypters and stuff, leaving the real cryptography behind.

So why not make a forum for hash cracking, discussion on ciphers etc. and another for malware protecting/crypters?

To show that there's enough activity to warrant such a distinction, you'll need at least 100 threads specifically on the topic you're suggesting. Also Omni said he was considering making a crypter section in the marketplace, which might solve the issue you're having. However I wouldn't hold your breath for that, he was iffy about the idea.

Well it isn't really many threads about ciphers, but most defenitly over 100 of threads with hash cracking.

I don't think free crypters would go in the marketplace, which is what he's talking about.

Prefixes would probably be better for what you're asking anyway.

I was thinking exactly this.

That could be an option, but the "real" crypto threads would still drown in the other threads about protecting malware.

The best would be a separate forum only for cryptography, where people make tutorials and discuss ciphers/hashes/algorithms etc.
