Title: some Cipher that I found interesting..
Post by: hurtl0cker on February 03, 2013, 10:52:02 PM
I participated in NullCon CTF two days ago, it went better than expected.
There was a cryptography question which carried least score among all but it was solved only by veryyyy few people, I couldn't solve it. I thought maybe it's an interesting question discuss.

CipherText: Qssdsctes?dsspeouiuctiiouo



Hint: 144122251532418, Another Interesting Hint: Interesting variant was used in the war between the states

Random guess, is it maybe one of these?
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pigpen_cipher
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vigen%C3%A8re_cipher
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Playfair_cipher

Or a ROT-NUM?

Of course, I presume the question mark is just a delimiter.

If you post a longer version of this cipher, it would be a lot easier to crack I believe.

That is all the Cipher text thats given .  ::)

btw it's not Vigenere cipher or one time pad.
