CrypTool 1 (CT1) is a free program for cryptography and cryptanalysis. CT1 is available in 6 languages, and it is the most widespread e-learning software of its kind. CT1 supports both contemporary teaching methods at schools and universities as well as awareness training for employees and civil servants. The program can be downloaded here. Originally designed as an internal business application for information security training, CrypTool 1 has since developed into an important open-source project in the field of cryptology and IT security awareness. The current version of CrypTool 1 offers among other things: * Numerous classic and modern cryptographic algorithms (encryption and decryption, key generation, secure passwords, authentication, secure protocols, etc.) * Visualization of several algorithms (Caesar, Enigma, RSA, Diffie-Hellman, digital signatures, AES, etc.) * Cryptanalysis of several algorithms (Vigenère, RSA, AES, etc.) * Cryptanalytical measurement methods (entropy, n-grams, autocorrelation, etc.) * Related auxiliary methods (primality tests, factorization, base64 encoding, etc.) * Number theory tutorial * Comprehensive online help **This snap uses Wine** This snap contains a Windows application. It runs on Linux using the Wine compatibility layer. Some features may not work correctly due to the differences between Windows and Wine. **Are you having issues?** Let us know by creating a new issue here: **Authors** This snap is maintained by the Snapcrafters community, and is not necessarily endorsed or officially maintained by the upstream developers. ### Package name * cryptool --- ### License * GPL-2.0 --- ### Last updated * 20 September 2022 - latest/stable * 16 November 2023 - latest/edge This snap hasn't been updated in a while.

They update automatically and roll back gracefully. Snaps are discoverable and installable from the [Snap Store](https://snapcraft.io/store), an app store with an audience of millions. ### Enable snapd Snap can be installed from the command line on openSUSE Leap 15.x and Tumbleweed. You need first add the *snappy* repository from the terminal. Choose the appropriate command depending on your installed openSUSE flavor. Tumbleweed: ``` sudo zypper addrepo --refresh https://download.opensuse.org/repositories/system:/snappy/openSUSE_Tumbleweed snappy ``` Leap 15.x: ``` sudo zypper addrepo --refresh https://download.opensuse.org/repositories/system:/snappy/openSUSE_Leap_15.6 snappy ``` If needed, Swap out `openSUSE_Leap_15.` for, `openSUSE_Leap_16.0` if you’re using a different version of openSUSE. With the repository added, import its GPG key: ``` sudo zypper --gpg-auto-import-keys refresh ``` Finally, upgrade the package cache to include the new *snappy* repository: ``` sudo zypper dup --from snappy ``` Snap can now be installed with the following: ``` sudo zypper install snapd ``` You then need to either reboot, logout/login or `source /etc/profile` to have /snap/bin added to PATH. Additionally, enable and start both the *snapd* and the *snapd.apparmor* services with the following commands: ``` sudo systemctl enable --now snapd sudo systemctl enable --now snapd.apparmor ``` ### Install CrypTool 1 To install CrypTool 1, simply use the following command: ``` sudo snap install cryptool ``` ### Other popular snaps… [See more...](https://snapcraft.io/search?categories=featured) [See more in Featured](https://snapcraft.io/search?categories=featured) ### More things to do… #### [Get the snap store](https://snapcraft.io/snap-store) Browse and find snaps from the convenience of your desktop using the snap store snap. #### [Learn more about snaps](https://snapcraft.io/docs) Interested to find out more about snaps?
