you said :

 

Encrypted

__________________

32.22.7.11.2.9.42.31.22<

 

 

and challenge us to decode it )

 

 

how about if you read it bacwards and use simple letter numbering reversal too, like Z-1 Y=2 etc...

 

22= E

 

22 occurs twice as does the letter E in your nick, but in reverse order, the letter Y is second from the end of the alphabet (hence 2).

 

am I getting close? LOL )

 

 

oh yeah, and the letter count adds up too

[bloodhound]

Doesnt seem to work. 32 for example, if u work in mod 26. is in ur case with bacward numbering U

[YT2095]

I agree it`s not perfect, but I recon it`s close, maybe some second letter rolling code or offset?

[Sayonara]

Unless it's completely backwards, and 32 is actually 23.

 

Which works fine as "d" where 22 is "e".

[bloodhound]

so with ur method. and considering any number greater than 26 in mod26. we get this word

 

with backward numbering and reading the message backwards

 

EVKRYPTEU

 

maybe he did it wrong? or maybe he encrypted it twice usuing different methods? who knows

[bloodhound]

i Think SAYO GOT IT.

[Sayonara]

No, the numbers->letters are backwards (a=26, z=1), and the whole thing is then written [acr=Right to Left]RTL[/acr]

[bloodhound]

I am not sure. if u read 32 , backwardds 23,. u get D!!!!!! now just to decode the whole thing

[YT2095]

Unless it's completely backwards' date=' and 32 is actually 23.

 

Which works fine as "d" where 22 is "e".[/quote']

GOOD CALL!

 

single numbers wont change nor will double digits the same (22 or 11 for example).

 

maybe NOT so "Encrypted" afterall

 

 

I can`t wait to hear his response, he`s SOooooo Busted if we`re right )

[bloodhound]

DETPYRCNE

 

which reads backwards

 

ENCRYPTED!!!

 

WELL DONE SAYONARA.

[Sayonara]

A= 26

B= 25

C= 24

D= 23

E= 22

F= 21

G= 20

H= 19

I= 18

J= 17

K= 16

L= 15

M= 14

N= 13

O= 12

P= 11

Q= 10

R= 9

S= 8

T= 7

U= 6

V= 5

W= 4

X= 3

Y= 2

Z= 1

 

Code reads:

32.22.7.11.2.9.42.31.22

 

Reverse it:

22.13.24.9.2.11.7.22.23

 

Translated message reads:

E.N.C.R.Y.P.T.E.D

[bloodhound]

Wel done to YT as well for first noticing the Symmetric property of 22 and 11

[Sayonara]

The fact that no right-hand digit in double digit numbers was above 2 was the giveaway for the double reversedness.

[YT2095]

it was the placement of the 22 that gave it away to me initialy, then the Y thing, I just wish I could see his face when he reads this

 

 

Pat on Backs lads, DAMN we`re clever )

[bloodhound]

This is quite fun actually. we should have more of these decryption challenges. feel like a detective on a man hunt

[YT2095]

it`s astonishing what can be accomplished in a coffee break with a little added boredom

 

maybe we should send him a PM back in his own code saying "Sorry, your challenge has got us beat", then I can hide this thread for a while

 

what ya recon?

[bloodhound]

that would be great!!!. Do we want to challenge him as well by adding something extra to the code?

[YT2095]

naah, not for the 1`st msg, we can add a PS. though in our own code

 

maybe ASCII reversed?

[bloodhound]

na. that would be too easy. something harder, but not to o hard... thinking..

[YT2095]

here, check this out:

 

8.21.9.9.2, 2.21.6.9 42.21.8 91.62.8 6.8 52.22.62.7

 

what ya recon?

 

of course I`ll type all that in backwards.

how about ASCII code, into binary, then flip all the ones to Zeros and then invert the byte

[Encrypted]

YOU GUYS ARE AMAZING!!!!

 

WELL DONE! YES YOU GOT IT RIGHT. the < was meant to tell you which way to read the numbers.

 

Yes i will make new challenges!

 

I agree this is fun, i make you break! lol

Mp pmr eo;; rbrt ntrsl ,u vpfr, js js.

 

HINT: look down.

[J'Dona]

Mp pmr eo;; rbrt ntrsl ' date='u vpfr, js js.

 

HINT: look down.[/quote']"No one will ever break my codem ha ha,"?

That's including typos, otherwise it might have read "Mp pmr eo;; rbrt ntrsl ,u vpfr. js js/", which would have been decoded to "No one will ever break my code, ha ha."

 

We should start an official code tread for this kind of thing.

[bloodhound]

why do pple cal it code? we should get a Ecryption Decryption Subforum.

[Dave]

Maybe cryptographic forum would be better?

 

As a suggestion, some good algorithms to try are some variations on the simple Caesar shifts (like these), Persenne squares are also quite fun to try and crack. The simpler Viginere square is easier to crack.
