Exercises

So, now that you know what a Caesar Cipher is try decrypting these messages:

1. OVD JHU ZVTLVUL IL KPYA WVVY, HUK HUVAOLY IL MPSAOF YPJO?
Key: 7 Rating: Really Easy
2. VS LBH XRRC GELVAT GB CEBIR ZHECUL'F YNJ, JVYY FBZRGUVAT TB JEBAT?
Key: 13 Rating: Really Easy

Now try decrypting these messages but without knowing the key. The best method is to try out each key from 1 - 25.

3. DEM JXQJ OEK ERLYEKIBO DEM XEM JE TUSHOFJ Q SQUIQH SYFXUH RO XQDT, KIU JXYI BYDA JE IFUUT JXYDWI KF: MMM.IUSHUJSETURHUQAUH.SEC/SQUIQH.XJCB.
Rating: Easy
4. HSJ TY L NZFYECJ HTES QCPPOZX ZQ DAPPNS LCP ESPCP ASZYP MTWWD?
Rating: Easy

Challenges:
These messages are not encrypted with just caesar cipher. To encrypt it I added a twist for each cipher. The primary cipher is a Caesar cipher but there is an added twist. One example is that I may have reversed the plaintext before encrypting it with a caesar cipher. Don't expect to get ANY of these.

Hi! I do not know if you still support this site or not, but I have decoded all the tasks almost 95%
And I can give a hint to other users:
1 this is a meme
2 about Murphy's law
3 thank you for this)
4 I do not know why
5 good words from Gertrude Stein
6 I Don't like chemistry
7 but this is a problem for me, I didn't find it(

  • dude i think you're my roommate from camp :O

    by themorninglighttt, Aug 29, 2010, 10:06 PM

  • what i'm still not a contrib D:

    by SonyWii, Aug 6, 2010, 2:20 PM

  • I see what you did there

    by Jongy, Aug 1, 2010, 11:52 PM

  • omg, apparently you like cryptography; and apparently I'm not a contribb D:

    by SonyWii, Jul 26, 2010, 9:48 PM

  • Thank You

  • @dragon96 Not if you celebrate Christmas with neon lights
    @batteredbutnotdefeated Sure, You are now a contributer

    by fortenforge, Dec 20, 2009, 4:39 AM

  • I too share a love for cryptography and cryptanalysis, may I be a contrib?

    by batteredbutnotdefeated, Dec 20, 2009, 2:38 AM

  • The green is too bright for Christmas. :P

    by dragon96, Dec 20, 2009, 2:12 AM

  • I thought I'd change the colors for the Holidays :lol:

  • hi, some "simple" cryptography here: http://www.artofproblemsolving.com/Forum/weblog_entry.php?t=317795

    by phiReKaLk6781, Dec 12, 2009, 3:46 AM

  • Yeah, that is binary, for modern cryptography, most text is converted to binary first and then algorithm's for encryption are preformed on the binary rather than the English letters. The text is converted using the ASCII table or UNICODE.

    by fortenforge, Oct 13, 2009, 10:33 PM

  • Whoa, I love your background! Is that binary?

    by pianogirl, Oct 13, 2009, 8:34 PM

  • Sure, I'll add you as a contributer...

    by fortenforge, Oct 2, 2009, 4:44 AM

  • May I make a post on one cipher I made up? (It's a good code for science people! *hint hint*)

    by dragon96, Oct 2, 2009, 4:04 AM

  • Nice blog, this is interesting... :lol:

    and guess who i am :ninja:

    by Yoshi, Sep 21, 2009, 4:02 AM

  • Thanks :lol:

    by fortenforge, Sep 17, 2009, 1:33 AM

  • Very interesting blog. Nice!

    by AIME15, Sep 16, 2009, 5:21 PM

  • When you mean 'write' do you mean like programming? Much of cryptography has to do with programming and most modern cryptographers are excellent programmers because modern complex ciphers are difficult to implement by hand.

    See if you can write a program for the substitution cipher. The user should be able to enter the key and the message. I know it is possible to do it in pretty much any language because I was able to do it in c.

    by fortenforge, Aug 7, 2009, 8:17 PM

  • Hello. I don't know much about advanced cryptography but I did write a Caeser Chipher encrypter and decrypter!
