Basic Mission 6

[Kalibre]

Okay, I've gotten the password, and tested it with the encryption key, and it comes out the same as the password, but for some reason, it says I have the wrong answer.

For reference, my Sam's password was 3::i69l>
My decrypted password was 398f24v7

I believe I haven't done anything wrong, someone help?

Well i read the table.....but looks like i dont get what i should read, i've tried to get the encryption pattern but when i think i get it.....it give something way different.....

OK ALL OF THE POSTS THAT EVERYONE MADE DOESNT HELP ME MUCH AT ALL.....CAN SOMEONE PLEASE EXPLAIN TO ME HOW THE ASCII TABLE WORKS AND HOW YOUR SUPPOSE TO USE IT?! I HAVENT SEEN A SINGLE PERSON POST THAT

Alright I have a basic knowledge of computer security systems, java, unix, solaris 10, and an overall idea of programming....

this is annoying the hell out of me though. I've tried two different ways for the decryptions, both using the ascii table provided in the forums....neither has worked...

I'm going to continue trying T&E but I'm not even really sure this is the right way of going about it.

Hey, if you are using the ASCII(I think) table, you need to notice these 3 things

1. The position of the character in the code.
2. The "Dec" number of the charactor
3. The fact that the first character never changes

With that and some first grade math, it's one of the easiest missions, once you figure it out. Have fun

Did that in my head after a while, needed an ASCII table for "<" though

Alright, I found the password, but it says it's wrong. I've put it through the encryption and it gives me the encrypted password that was provided, so I know I have it right. Any help?

How about writing a little Java program which does all the work for you? No need to use any cryptic ascii tables, chars are quite fitting

WHAT BE'ETH THIS PROGRAM OF WHICH YOU SPEAK LOR HOW TO WRITE IT, HMMM?!?!?!?!?!?

It's farily simpel ^^
You can do it in your head, the only thin i was annoyed with was the : being the seventh character ^^
took me a minute to find the corresponding symbol beacause i didn't know which comes first ^^ the ., the !, the ?, or the ;
???
