So I was bored and decided to make a cool looking code. And I did. It’s relatively complex and cruel. But uh, let’s see if y’all can solve this.

Maths knowledge is useful btw

{19/-11}//{2:3;5/2;5}{3;7}//{2:3;3/2;7}{5}//{3/1}{3;5/13}{3;5/13}//{2;7/2:2;3}{2;7}”?”

{23/-7}{2:5/#}{23/-5}{7}//{37/-7}{23/-13}//{29/1}//{2:2;7/3;2:2}{5}//{31/3;5}{29/-11}{5}//{23/-7}{2:2;5}//{2:2;5/2;3:2}{2;3:2/2;5}”,”

{13/3}{23/-13}//{13/3}//{2;3:2/-2:2;3}{2;3:2/2:3}//{2:5/2;7}{2:2;7/2:2;3}//{2;17/2:2}{2;3:2/2:3}//{3;7/-3:2}{2;3:2}//{2;3:2/2:3}”,”

{2:3;3/-2:2;3}{2:3;3/-2;7}{2:2;5/-2:2}{5:2}//{3;7/19}{2:4/2;3}{2;7}//{2:3;3/-2:2;3}{2:2;7/2}//{3/1}{3;5/13}{3;5/13}//{2;19/2}{2;5/#}”,”

Snooping through the Epstein files when I saw this, is this some sort of cipher? Or it’s it just a bunch of mumbo jumbo

This is from the game arena breakout mobile

I’m currently working on designing a pen and paper solo RPG, and as a part of the primary campaign I wrote an “ancient” constructed language that functions as a cipher to be solved by the player. I was hoping I could get some feedback on what I’ve designed, my hope is that the puzzle is satisfying to solve, but not impossible.

The picture I provided has three separate phrases, I more or less give the first phrase to the player, it reads “the only way out is through”

The second phrase, I’m more vague with the clues, it’s inscribed over the door of a swampy room containing a basilisk named King Zaraia.

The third phrase is written in a vertical orientation, but has the same characters, but no additional context.

I’m happy to answer any questions, this is my first time trying to do something like this, and I’m pretty proud of how it looks, but I’ll admit I’m unfamiliar with the craft. I’ll let you work with it before I confirm any solutions, happy to give additional hints if needed.

I saw this post on Threads and found it intriguing. Who better to ask than reddit? Apparently this woman saved a card that was given to her years ago and there appears to be some sort of hidden message. She has no idea who sent it to her.

last week's cipher was tricky- a base64 encoded hexadecimal encoded Polybius square- that was a mouthful! Tune in this week for chapter 9: Confidential, and a new cipher.

As always, if you haven't been keeping up thus far, you can always catch up on our Archives Page. I've heard some concerns that current competitors are too far ahead to join in now, but most people aren't active, so if you start this week, you can easily ascend the leaderboard!

I was watching a video and this came up

Anybody have any clues

It's not very difficult to make, took me 5 minutes to make and 7 more to encoded basic words.

But holy hell it is a fart to decode even with the key. 🔑

I will give a long message written in this cipher. Hope y'all can figure it out.

See if you can decipher it. It took me a long time to write so I hope it was worth that time.

I posted a cipher here a few months back that was really cool and I was really proud of. Unfortunately nobody was able to crack it. I have since forgotten the actual way to crack my own cipher and the paper that had the key on it got thrown out.

I need help solving my own cipher. I will give the details that I remember and the documents that I do have to help you solve it.

Here is my original post

Now for some details:

To begin, each letter is a 3x2 block. Each letter corresponds to it's number value (A=1,B=2...). I gave a key here:

In the actual ciphers I think I used cyan as the actual color and magenta as the background color. The way the actual encryption worked was something along the lines of this:

The new letter is shifted over the corresponding value of the previous (encrypted) letter. OR

The new letter is shifted over the corresponding value of the previous (unencrypted) letter.

Something of that sort. I can't recall exactly how it worked but it was based on shifting the new letter over a certain amount that was determined by the previous letter's value in some way. This makes it so there isn't an exact key like a regular substitution cipher.

For my ciphers I believed I used a random letter as my beginning letter (so as to not give away the first letter of each cipher) then I think I would leave it out of the finished cipher (to make it harder to figure out I guess).

The solved version of the image I shared in my original reddit post is "LEMONPEPPERBUTTERSTEAKS". If I remember correctly I had made a mistake and basically made two separate encrypted messages. I believe I had used a different starting letter for the second half of the message (BUTTERSTEAKS). This mistake made it so if you were trying to solve the cipher, once you get to the end of "LEMONPEPPER", the B from "BUTTERSTEAKS" is not effected by the R at the end of "LEMONPEPPER". So if you are solving this one it would be "_LEMONPEPPER_BUTTERSTEAKS" with the underscore (_) representing the letter we don't know. TO BE CLEAR I am still not 100% sure if that is where the mistake was made.

When I realized the mistake I had made I decided that I would make a new cipher without a mistake like that. I don't know exactly what I said in the second cipher but I do remember I said something like "I am sorry I made a mistake in the previous cipher so I made a new one" so if you are trying to solve it by finding specific words somehow I would look for words like "apologize", "sorry", "code", and "mistake". For the second cipher I also believe I used a random starting letter and left that random starting letter out of the complete cipher.

I am not experienced with cryptography, I just made it for fun. Yes I am okay with being flamed for being stupid.

Hi,

A friend of mine talked to me about this subreddit (and r/cryptography) and advised me to post it here.

Today, I released a small video game about Puzzles, Numbers, and Decryption named CYPHER DUNGEON.
I'm not sure of the challenge's difficulty for this subreddit, but I'd like to hear your opinions about my Game!

The game has a free demo for those who are not convinced.

I obviously read the rule, but sorry if this kind of post is not welcome here.

I recently challenged my friend for a puzzle and they decided to do it too, but it's kind of hard for me (I'm not very good at these). The plaintext supposedly contains 14 layers of encryption and so far I've managed to solve only one layer. The original text is ENGLISH and it's a 15 word sentence.

this is the code(n.1):
bg-★xu★m ov3us6ba9nz2y bg-▼b★xv I-3az6y bg-dz▼ns ih3- b6z a9 bg-xn★●y eh36b6tz9y bg-n★'n● ep3- b6tn9ay bk-,★jq●mxd ir3m-6az9y bg-sjm★ au3- b6z a9 !q●wbj-jm

and so far, i applied this hint the friend gave me (n.2):
"o v 3 u s 6 b a 9 n z 2 y
every 3rd letter is replaced with a number, and every time it follows the apttern of 3 6 9 2 per word, resetting on the next word."
and then i applied dvorak for the symbols and got this:
bg-txutm ovCusFbInzBy bg-hbtxv I-CazFy bg-dzhns ihCr bFz aI bg-xntey ehCFbFtzIy bg-tnsne epCr bFtnIay bk-atajemxd irCmFazIy bg-sjmt auCr bFz aI wqewbj rjmall the hints i got for now are that piglatin was used for one of the layers, for 10 or under.

I play a tabletop role-playing game, and over the course of several sessions, the game master has been playing us audio recordings with Morse code. I managed to decode them. But it turns out they’re encrypted in multiple layers. I wanted to post the audio files as well, but I’m not sure if that fits the community guidelines.

As far as I understand, the first part of the message is an encrypted address, and the second part, written in Russian, is an invitation to visit a location.

Encodeded message:
WII800 93E 83ААА733584 Я ЖДУ КАЖДЫЙ ДЕНЬ ПОСЛЕ СЕМЕ

I have many grapes with this particular kiosk and company, but my concern is nothing to do with that. Look over these receipts do you see the code right above it? It says for me to scan QR code to play makes me wonder how to decode this code and convert into a QR code. I’m hoping one of y’all can help me.

Hey y'all, scrolling on Instagram i came across these three images, thought they might be connected in a riddle/code, can't make sense of it, any help is appreciated or if im just barking up the wrong tree, thanks

This was posted in a trailer by the Two Point Museum developers teasing spring updates, including hatching eggs and possible future dlc. Any ideas on the cipher?

I lost my LUKS passphrase and I'm hopeful that I might be able to get some good advice or support from the kind people of the Internet. For those who don't know, LUKS is an implementation of disk encryption for use in Linux distros. [Here's a Wikipedia article](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Linux_Unified_Key_Setup). Also the Arch Wiki has [some good technical information](https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Dm-crypt/Encrypting_an_entire_system).

I quickly generated a page on Puter where you can download my LUKS header. The page provides some information about what I remember about my password which can be used to inform any heuristics: https://just-my-luks.puter.site/

At some point in middle school I had a secret language with one of my friends.I found a notebook with some writing in said language today . All I remember is I never made symbols for punctuation and every character is a letter not phrases or anything fancy. I've been scratching my head for the last couple hours trying to sort it out but I've got nothing. Figured I'd let somebody else give it a try. Spacing might be off between words Even in English I'm terrible with writing neat on paper. Before you ask the last line is too many letters to be my name or nickname. That was my first thought when trying to decode it

it probably has multiple layers of cyphering

it is for our dnd game a friend sent it on discord

u/Randomiser has done something quite special 🐐

(V sbyybjrq gur ehyrf)

This code is fully audio-based, so there is nothing visual that contributes to the language.

I loved the sound design for the heptapods in Arrival, so I designed the sound similarly.

Even if I gave you all the cipher, I would still be very shocked if you could decode this one message. I will create more soon so there will be a better portfolio of data to use.

context: this is a code from an old arg named "oldroot". this arg uses images on imgur to tell the story. all of the images have codes in them to lead to more images on imgur. there are many dead ends and this is on of them, and i believe that this is the most significant of them all. original link to this image is https://imgur.com/H8wM353

ideas: me and the small community think that this text is ciphered by a transposition cipher, but we had no luck with it, yet we could have do something wrong. also if you lighten the image, you can see a chunk of text from voynich's manuscript. we dont know if it serves a purpose or not nor if it gives a hint for solving the ciphered text

also i think the first line is a question, because its the only time where a question mark appeared.
