Mision Basic X6

sorry but i still don`t understand..
is it even possible to get the password from the ascii table?

Yes. And, provided you fully understand how the cipher works, it's possible to get the password without the table as well. Here's some advice that might help:

First, try encrypting something simple using the provided input on the form. Something like the letter 'a'. When you get your result, copy and paste it into a text editor so that you can review it later. Then, try 'aa', copying that result as well. Continue adding additional a's, and storing the results, until you get a rough idea of how the algorithm works. Once you understand what is happening underneath the surface, ask yourself, "How do I reverse this process?" When you've formulated an answer to that question, try coding a simple script, or program, to decipher the password for you. Or, if you feel more comfortable, use the chart and work it out by hand.

thanks for explaining it to me

I just finished this mission but still need more understanding of cryptography as this one I am sure is pretty easy. I am sure it gets a whole lot more complicated. I would also like a better understanding of ascii and how to use it effectively as a resource.
I read the article on cryptography, but having trouble putting it all together.

Please PM me and help me understand how and why this works the way it does.

Thank you everyone.

ok im having the same problem as every one else. i have the password. i put it in to encrypt it an it gives me EXACTLY what it says sams password is. but when i try to submit it, it says its the wrong password. iv went over it a million times an it is correct. i know its case sensitive. if any one who had this problem an figured it out please PM me, cause im gonna freak out. at least i know im not the only one having this problem.

I was stuck on this one for a little while. Finally got it...the table comes in handy but just as a reference.

I have the same problem, I really think something is wrong with this mission. I decrypted his password and encrypted it again to see if was correct, it was. I hope a moderator or something check it out, and tell us if we are simply forgetting something or if the mission have a problem.

There is nothing wrong with this challenge i just re-did it to make sure. Maybe you have an off by one error.

What all are you doing? PM me a description of what you're doing. I'll see if I can help.

[XORMeBaby]

Me too. Shoot me a PM and I will try my best. If I can't solve it I will tell you who to contact.
