Cyber Security Challenge UK Test Solved!
Good times! I have official confirmation that I successfully solved the first test of the Cyber Security Challenge UK
(https://cybersecuritychallenge.org.uk/) :) Well, I was absolutely sure the solution was right, but what was not known - if I am the first one or not. Unfortunately not, but still I had a great fun! Later I will post detailed steps how puzzles were solved (there were several of them, covering security and cryptography areas), so stay tuned. Really exciting stuff!
Official confirmations goes below:
Dear Aleks
Congratulations on successfully solving the first test of the Cyber
Security Challenge UK. We can confirm your submission was correct!
Whilst we're afraid you were not the first to send in your win code,
very few people solved the cipher so well done on getting it right.
We intend to post a new cipher in about a month - something a bit
trickier to really push you to the limits. In the mean time, please keep
a watch on our website, our Twitter profile, or our Facebook page for
updates and news. For all those looking for a new way to test their
skills - why not sign up to one of the competitions that form part of
the full Cyber Security Challenge UK:

We hope you enjoyed this first test - we can assure you there are many
more to come.
Congratulations again on solving our first puzzle.
The Cyber Security Challenge Team
