[EPIC] Cryptography For Beginners
Today I'll be teaching you some easy cryptography that I learned from a book that I just put in the Warez section, Cracking and Cryptography for Dummies :)

The link to that is here: Coding and Cryptography for Dummies

Until you download it, you can learn some of the simple ciphers in the book! C:

The Rail-Fence Cipher:

This one is kind of difficult. But anyway, here you go!

HLOHRLGCLAESHPYRPOOVNELTEE,OIAGMR.APCYTSLIG

Answer:

HELLO THERE, LOGICAL GAMERS. HAPPY CRYPTO SOLVING

Key:

H L O H R L G C L A E S H P Y R P O O V N
E L T E E , O I A G M R . A P C Y T S L I G

Read it diagonally, up and down. All you have to do for this one is try to divide the word at what you think is the center. If there's punctuation near the middle of the line of gibberish, its most likely one of these. Most people are sneaky and don't use it, though :O So all you have to do is try putting half of the line under the top :D There are also 3 and 4 rail ciphers, but you can read about those in the book.

Shift Cipher:

JXWK WK L KXWZJ GWPXCM

Answer:

THIS IS A SHIFT CIPHER

Key:

A B C D E F G H I J K L M N O P Q R S T U V W X Y Z

L O G I C Z Y X W V U T S R Q P N M K J H G F E D B

In this cipher, A = L, B = O, etc.

It uses a keyword at the beginning, and the alphabet starts after it. I made this one harder though by having the alphabet start backwards >:)

Atbash Cipher:

GVRH RH GLL VZHB

Anser:

THIS IS TOO EASY

Key:

A B C D E F G H I J K L M N O P Q R S T U V W X Y Z

Z Y X W V U T S R Q P O N M L K J I H G F E D C B A

All that makes up this cipher is the alphabet backwards! Probably the easiest and simplest cipher you will ever find.

I'll be posting more soon :) Thats it for now, though!

Next is NUMBER CIPHERS! *Gasp*

Anyway, thanks for reading! :)

Edit log:
Removed the bit.ly link, it was saying linking to LG would give me a virus xP It's because 'warez' is in the link.

Thanks :) Glad you like it!

Yeah , it's pretty useful
#5
cannot down load Coding and Cryptography for Dummies
#6
Yeah sorry about that, ever since LogicalGamers took out it's "Warez" forum, this link hasn't worked. Let me try to find you an updated link.
