Function or Not a Function
Examine some input-output relations to determine if a relation is a function.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/function-or-not-a-function
Cybersecurity 1: All Clear
Activity 1 introduces students to “cleartext” messaging. Students will send messages between two micro:bit radios on one of 83 radio channels using plaintext characters, referred to as cleartext. The “student hacker” will attempt to eavesdrop on the conversation by listeni...https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/cybersecurity-1
Cybersecurity 4- What's Your Password?
Building on the concepts learned in Activity 3, students will learn about obfuscating passwords through a method known as “hashing.” This security function shows students how a plaintext password can be scrambled and encrypted by a hashing function, such as SHA-256, in such a way that...https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/cybersecurity-4@-whats-your-password
Cybersecurity 5 - Turn the (Rainbow) Tables
Building on the concepts learned in Activity 4, it’s up to the student hacker to turn the tables by working out the method for hacking SHA-256 password encryption.The student hacker must search a rainbow table, which is comprised of precomputed hashes from known and frequently used password...https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/cybersecurity-5
