Inspiration
A friend of mine and I made a small message encrypter on two different languages (C and Python) and I found it very interesting. It sparked my curiosity about cybersecurity and the incorporation of math in programming.
What it does
It uses an 8 integer key to mathematically encrypt each character / number in a data structure representing an employee, and stores the encrypted structure in a binary file, only revealed if the proper key and algorithm are used simultaneously.
How we built it
We used the C programming language on the codeblocks IDE.
Challenges we ran into
We originally wanted to incorporate an SQL for hosting the stored data, but were sadly unable to incorporate it in our project given limited network/internet related competencies.
Accomplishments that we're proud of
I am quite proud of the algorithm developed, despite its incompleteness.
What we learned
Though we didn't end up using one, I learned a lot about SQL's as well as team cooperation through GitHub.
What's next for Hack the hill 2023
Keep doing hackathons!
