Well... there was a post in the early posts of this topic, this guy explained how the encryption works and the technique to decrypt it. I wasn't able to realize it was this type of encryption (I forget what it's called) but yeah, there should be an earlier post, like... the first few pages of this topic.

Nevermind, I took me 2 hour to fix the program (there were bugs everywhere) but I did it. Now the problem is that I have 4 caracters missing: The program works as it should and I got the message, but I don't know why (maybe is the C++ casting) I have 4 digits between the words SMITH and THANK that I can't get. Could someone just gave them to me please?


Thanks.

I'm almost positive that i have the message decrypted right. I sent it to ToxiCo_Watch though and it said it didn't work. So why isn't it working?

You don't need to know the password, do you? Do you have to put something special in the header? What am I missing?

Is this just a bug?

In the real world, if your decrypted message content matches the actual message, that would be good enough. But this is test, so your answer must match *exactly* with the expected answer. Try comparing the number of characters in the encrypted message to the number in your decrypted message.

Try reading through the forum again, its been discussed several times. Reading the forum worked for me.

Is there a way to write a c++ program to decrypt this? I'm taking c++ class and I tried to make on, but it didn't work. I wanted it to replace the . with a space, but I can't exactly figure out how to make it do that. If it has spaces, then you can store the separate numbers in an int array. I've seen a lot of people using perl to decrypt the encryptions on this site. The only problem is, I'd have to learn perl to write one of my own, lol.

... I wanted it to replace the . with a space...

Just slap that encrypted data in a text editor of your choice, then replace all '.' with ' ' and *then* put your data in your program ( Been there, done that...) Good luck and good hunting!

If you're taking a class in it, why not ask the teacher? In python it would be like this:

>>>S= 'abc.def.ghi' # string containing periods
>>>print S.replace('.',' ') # replace the period with a space
>>>abc def ghi # printed result

I'm sure C++ has a 'replace' function as well.

Even if there is one its not essential to use it. I used c++ to decode it, but, as i posted some time ago some characters do not show as they are supposed to (i think).

Can someone send a pm with the correct sentence?

Thanks in advance

There must be a problem with your code if it's not decrypting properly. The message should be clear and make sense with no misspelling.

If you use the wrong number as the "pass" (i dont think thats too spoilerish)
then you can get something that you can perfectly read, and generally understand
but if i remember right it will be in caps, with what look like a few typos and certain characters showing as spaces

if thats what you're talking about your close, look a little closer at your analysis of the code
