Saltstack: Changing RSA public exponent from 1 to 65537

I recommend Coursera's Crypto 1 course - it walks you through the internals of a lot of the crypto stuff, hammers "Don't do it yourself!" into you and there are programming challenges that involve breaking crypto constructions, finding hash collisions etc etc.

I'm really hoping crypto 2 actually starts in about 10 days as it seems to have been put back a lot.

--edit-- Just to sell it further, it also goes into padding oracles, timing attacks and a variety of clever stuff to show you just how easy it is to screw up :)

Oh, man, that course contained so much of "Do you see any problems with this construction? No? It can't possibly be vulnerable to anything, you say? Boom, here's how to break it completely".

My mind was blown on every course video.

Sadly, Crypto 2 seems to be delayed to Oct 15 now.

Awww, dammit. I was looking forward to that. I only checked a couple of weeks ago.
