Basic Mission 6

[eljonto]

Just finally completed this mission, the only tip i could give is if you are using a non-US keyboard, you may want to think about layout
Good luck

Or you could just use the encryption algorithm on the mission or an ascii table to work it out...

I could never suss how in the world to use the ascii table, It doesnt take long to suss the pattern for yourself without the use of tables and stuff

The ascii table is used to show you the pattern, (which key comes after which), not hard for numbers or letters but with symbols the next one isn't so obvious so using the table just shows you the order the keys are in.

hey,
i'm sort of old here. but i haven't been doing the training until now.

I was reading the hints and i have one for you guys

If you've ever done some programming, this should give you that "aha!" moment.

Think of the characters as if they were in an array.
And figure out how the algorithm modifies those characters.
Once you figure out the simple algorithm, you can use the ascii table to determine what characters were modified.
Then just try to encrypt the characters you decrypted to see if it comes out right.

I hope this wasn't too much of a spoiler.

everybody seems to give hints which are, in essence, exactly the same thing- just reworded and then add, "if this is too much of a spolier, pls delete it"

I think by now there are enough "hints" in this thread, and more than enough info is in here to let you solve this mission, the words "encrypt uniform data" and "ascii table" have been mentioned enough times and are all you need to hear to solve this mission in a good way. Please keep the remainder of this forum for problems or issues you are having that you can't solve after thinking or experimenting with it for a while.
Thanks

yeah! can get the password using the Laplace Transformation... but i will not post the formula here, that would be a spoiler right.. figure it out on your own.. good luck ^_^ hint: i just replace the given values with variables...

Precisely.
