Joachim Schueth has beaten a reconstruction of the famous
Colossus Mark II
code breaking machine in November 2007. The Colossus computers were
used in World War II to break the German encrypted messages.
Equipped with a NetBSD-powered laptop and profound knowledge of
cryptography and the Ada programming language, Schueth has won the
code-cracking challenge. We talked with him about the historical and technical
backgrounds of the
Cipher Event and the tools he has used.
