encryption

[Shyfire]

i just wanted toknow if this encryption is any good

could some body please try to crack it and tell me the secret sentence

[Tony]

something about me having too much spare time

it looks good though

[[Gandalf]]

No, it seems pretty good...

I'm trying to crack it though .

*Update*
Ah, my efforts did not have any effect. I have too little experience in decryption/encryption.

[rizzix]

you cant crack somthing so tiny... encrypt a large paragraph written in proper understandable english.. then it will be easier..

[wtd]

Ok... is there something especially funky about the text file? I can't open it.

[MysticVegeta]

Thats the encryption!!!!! LOL! No i am just joking: File Open Status : Ok.
Maybe your notepad is messed up wtd, dont worry you can make a new one in 5 minutes Which language will it be?? C++, OCalm, Haskell? God, i dont even know the names.

Edit: One more question, i am guessing its a sentence and it follows the same encryption style throughout? That means every character that is encrypted follows the same changing of the ordinal values?

[[Gandalf]]

Well, a good encryption would have not just something as simple as a changing of ordinal values once.

wtd, here is what I get in the text file:

Quote:

ëÿÿÿ ýÿÿÿ)'6;*:+'1<0+)5,+%#27&6'#-8,'%1(',*9>-=.*4?3.,8/.75DI8H95?J>97C:9

That's everything except two characters which don't copy and paste very well ...

And here is my little attempt at encryption:

Quote:

Àú"ž"ž"¡Ë†p"¦'p" Ã²"¦Ãºp"¹p¾ò" Ã¸Ã²"žÃ¼Ë†püp'"¡pöò" pŠúòøpŒ€"¹pŒ€ú" p'"¡pöŠòöƒúøp"¦'pú" Ã¶Å 'ˆŒ"¡" p¤"šÅ’

*edit* Oh, and Mystic, I am sure that wtd doesn't use "Notepad", since he is mostly on Linux .

Gedit can't open it because it's a binary file, pretty much. You can use 'cat' to see the output though.
EDIT:If it helps anyone who can't open the file, here's the Hex version of the file:

code:

0700 0000 EBFF FFFF 0A00 0000 FDFF FFFF 2927 363B 2A3A 2B27 313C 302B 2935 2C2B 2523 3237 2636 2723 2D38 2C27 2531 2827 2C2A 393E 2D3D 2E2A 343F 332E 2C38 2F2E 3735 4449 3848 3935 3F4A 3E39 3743 3A39

One thing. Since encryption is usually meant to protect something, it is still meant to be read. Are you sure that your encryption is crackable at all? If you randomly replaced all the letters without following some kind of convention then all of this is pointless...

[wtd]

Thanks, Hikaru79.

Oh, and MysticVegata: I think what you were referring to was O'Caml, which is short for Objective-Caml.

[Tony]

the problem with decrypting as I see it, is that the message could have been encrypted using a very specialized set of instructions.. like replace all the "A"s with "T"s, insert a redundant character after every prime counter positions. Then encrypt the message using whatever method.

I guess my question would be.. how'd one go about figuring out those hardcoded obsticles that are not defined by simple math?

[Cervantes]

Ask Alan Turing.

[MysticVegeta]

the simplest encryption i could come up with is the problem in DWITE using the QWERTY encoder. Q encodes to E. E encodes to T. Every time it shifts 2 right places on your keyboard. Bunch of if statements lol.

[Andy]

hmm i had an encryption program for my database program.. except its in c++, if u guys want, i can post a sentence and see how many of u can get it.. but its pretty darn hard

[[Gandalf]]

Sure. But seeing that the last two we have didn't get solved, I doubt this one will either. I'm actually pretty sure I'm the only one who has tried .
