UCSD CSE Summer Series

Hi all!

Happy September! 🍂

The quarter is right around the corner though with our quarter schedule it’s not here just yet (class starts in 3 weeks!).

For the remaining weeks I’m not planning as many new programming challenges, instead I’m going back and making some solution videos for past challenges. I encourage you to discuss these problems on Discord, or email me with questions about them (I’ve replied to a few emailed/DMed questions, discussion is fine, too!)

✅ Do Now! (Do one, some, or all!)

• Watch the video Arbitrary-Length Password Cracking
  • Code here: https://github.com/cse-summer-series/week6/blob/solution/passwd_crack.c
• If you’re interested in pushing the performance of the password cracking tool, read about Optimizations. What’s the longest password you can crack in under a minute?

• If you haven’t, fill out the welcome form:
