Thank you kcbowhunter. I started these without knowing many of the tools needed but your challenges and the help of those in here have helped me get more comfortable using them!!!

You're welcome. I designed the challenges to increase in difficulty. If you want to try Mountain Man / Hail Caesar / Shah of Gimli / KeyMaker / VargasIsland they may give you the chance to learn more new things. Thanks!

Easy, for beginners: use strings and base64

My challenges are designed to increase in difficulty; yes this is an easy 20 point problem for beginners.

You are damn right!
