seeing the interest of MBX's weekly puzzle, i am going to start off a Cipher thread, the goal is to De-Cipher coded msgs based on diferent Ciphers around the world.  this first one is going to be hard but first person to post the right answer wins.

throuought this test, i will be droping clues as to how the cipher works, it might be 1337, a1z26, it might be moris code.  but i tell you right now that this first code has nothing to do with the codes stated previous so pay attention to the hints

Here is the msg.  Topic: Famous Quote
1-1 3-1 3-1  5-4 3-4 4-5 4-2  1-2 1-1 4-3 1-5  1-1 4-2 1-5  1-2 1-5 3-1 3-4 3-3 2-2  4-4 3-4  4-5 4-3

and people say i'm not evil too... bwahaha

p=b
t=d
g=k
h=n
i=u

First clue is this, this code has 25 spaces, but the alphabet has 26 numbers

second clue: C and K exist where C does, after J comes L

Third Clue: With the exception of C/K the letters are alphabetical I.E. A, B, C/K, D

The answer is

All Your Base Are Belong To Us

that last hint was too much i guess, anyways, corect answer

Time to figure out another code for next week

Actually, I didn't notice you added the 3rd hint until after I figured it out. The 2nd hint was what cleared it up for me. I'm a puzzle freak normally and like this sorta stuff but rarely have time for it anymore.

dang, the 2nd hint? i thought it was still a lil criptic

Anyways the code i used was a variation of what prisoners used in POW camps in Vietnam based on hitting something to a metal pipe

heh, I made a code once where you:

1. take a sentence
2. convert it to morse
3. order the morse code from . to ---*
4. use the index to convert it back into reverse alphabetical (1=z, 2=y, etc)
5. Use book code** with a copy of fellowship of the ring (everyone has a copy lying around somewhere) with a key*** which you put as the first number in the code.

*
1 = . = e
2 = - = t
3 = .. = i
4 = .- = a
5 = -. = n
6 = -- = m
7 = ... = s
8 = ..- = u
9 = .-. = r
10 = .-- = w
11 = -.. = d
12 = -.- = k
13 = --. = g
14 = --- = o
15 = .... = h
16 = ...- = v
17 = ..-. = f
18 = .-.. = l
19 = .--. = p
20 = .--- = j
21 = -... = b
22 = -..- = x
23 = -.-. = c
24 = -.-- = y
25 = --.. = z
26 = --.- = q
-
27 = ..-- = [full stop] (excluded from further processing)
28 = .-.- = [comma] (excluded from further processing)
29 = ---. = [open bracket] (excluded from further processing)
30 = ---- = [close bracket] (excluded from further processing)

** book code
page.line.word.character

eg (using FotR)
89.3.2.5 = i

***key
add the key to each part of the book code
so with a key of 12
89.3.2.5 would become
101.15.14.7


it's all very long winded, but pretty secure and even better, to an unsuspecting eye it looks like a list of IP addresses

If you guys like this kind of stuff, you should really read the book Digital Fortress

of course that's only the base code.

I devised ways of including the ISBN number so you can use any book, and made every 'letter' (including the key and punctuation) look like an IP address.

and then after that you could convert each letter into hexdecimal >_<

My brain just exploded. Excuse me while I wipe the pieces off my laptop screen. Wait, what's a laptop? Who are all of you? What are all these weird symbols that I see before me...

Original Sentence:

In Morse:

Index Code:

reverse alphabet:

book code using fotr:

Add a key the first digit tells you where to find the letter addition key (part three)

Turn Punctuation in four octet numbers by putting (letter addition key)-(if letter addition key is not part 4 use part 4, if not use part three of the key) at the front and using (the first part of the key that isn't the letter addition or the key position) to tell you which part of the number to put the punctuation code in. the other unused ones are random numbers under 255

Next insert the ISBN number using the (if letter addition key is not part 4 use part 4, if not use part three of the key) as the starting point and then (the first part of the key that isn't the letter addition or the key position) as the increment between each part of the key code. the actual code is formatted like this.

eg. 0-261-10235-4
0.26.11.0
23.54.231.55 (italics are random)
zeros have to be given their own part
the addition key is then added
10.36.21.10
33.64.241.65
This its all inserted like this:

Now convert to hexdecimal.

Now remove all linebreaks and dots and add random spaces.

There we have it.

... And why does it need to be that secure? You wrote instructions on how to do it to remember, didn't you? Not so secure now, is it?

heh, I was sharing it with people. and yes, It's ridiculously secure. but the fact is it's so damn time consuming I never really use it. besides, It's a lot easier to say
"I am D4rkDrago0n" than
"03020A 055617101 0570D110F 2D17110 D0A24150 A4212100E051D9 B622140 F141630C110B72 18170E8F140 F101C100F0F051 E48BB3 10D0D0D 750E110F47160F10 4613120 C8C100E0E3F1 F0D0D051D2 20C1514110 D9C270D0D 43130F0D1F 11140E051E 620C97 1B140 D051B3FAD"

Another code will be coming down in 2 days, there will be no hints this time but the cipher will be on wiiloaded, you just have to keep your eyes open 8-X

please for the love of god don't use my code. It takes twice as long to decode a message than encode it >_<

don't worry, what i have in mind is far more sinister

D4rk...

You destroyed my brain.

BLARGH...

Code for March 25, 2007
To solve this completely, i need 3 things.
1: The code decyphered in english
2: what game is this phrase from
3: what code (or language) is the code made from?

Dra muhk, muhk cdnikkma uv yhleahd desac vehymmo ahtat,
Dra jeldun cylnevelat dra jyhxiecrat du dra rayjahc
Vuin pammc dummat. vuin dunlrac fana med.
Yht dra funmt luhdehiat vun druicyhtc uv oaync

now, look through wiiloaded, the cipher is in there
Cipher loaded, there are even 5 characters on this page
code goes: cipher-english letter

ok, this will allow somebody to solve this code.

the cipher for this code is Al Behd

ah, ff.

I did write an Al Behd converter script for one of my old sites. but I lost it :'(
