Hackers: DO write crypto code, DON'T use it in production (cryptofails.com)

This is written for developers who are trying to get their feet wet with crypto and are frustrated by all of the industry experts saying "don't roll your own, use a trusted library."

It's okay to write your own, but not okay to rely on your own.


Reminds me of the MtGox guy who rolled his own ssh server in PHP. Wonder if it was used in production?


Do you have a link to the source code for it by any chance? :)
