Random question: Are any of you adept at breaking codes?

[monkeystyle]

And I don't mean like passwords or anything like that. I mean ciphers, real codes.

If so, I need your help.

Just warning you in advance I have ulterior motives for this and if you do happen to help me and I get what I am after I will thank you but you will get none of what I get.

So if you are not willing to help out of the goodness of your heart, then bugger off. Just putting that disclaimer in here just in case I get it and I wanna make sure no assholes can sue me for "their rightful share"

In plain english: If you post in here and help, whether you include your explicit aquiesence to my terms or not, you still give up your right (if you actually could legally justify having one) to any compensation what so ever.

So, anybody?

What exactly are you hunting?

What exactly are you hunting?

I'm not telling. There is enough competition for this worldwide and I have zero intention of adding to it.

 

[Italian Outsider]

Maybe.

Ooh mysterious. I'm out

im curious as to what this is. but no i cant decode shit.

Ask Hayley Williams, she's great at decoding things.

(Bad Paramore joke... I'll get my coat)

I don't even get it. Not a fan anyways.

They have a song called Decode.

Move along, nothing to see here.

Now, some of these codes are red herrings. I think that much is obvious.

I tried a couple different Caesar shifts but those didn't work so now I am drawing a blank because I don't know any other ciphers lol.

I think though that two things stand out:

1. There are far too many xs. Now whether those are red herrings themselves or mean something else, I dunno.

2. There are also an inordinate number of qs.

I dunno. Fucking lost, yo.

I've been working on these since the 3rd of March and I've broken a couple of codes but they were easy. One was even in the Navajo code that the codetalkers used in WW2.

Yesterday after staring at these for like 4 hours straight trying to just brute force them I wanted to go bang my head against a wall for a while because I imagined that it would probably feel so much better after I stopped.

 

[Italian Outsider]

Goddammit.

 

[Luke Flywalker]

The x's aren't really red herrings, if they were, the rest of the letters in the first two would be as well... if you look at the first two sequences, it's repetitive "Hxxn" and "qbqqd"

I tried eliminating those letters from the rest of the sequences; but you don't really yield any specific patterns. This is pretty tough. P and U appear to be overused as well.


I'll think about this for a few later today and let you know if I come up with anything.

For the record, I didn't really expect to break it, or to be actually helpful.
I wanted to know what the code was about, even without monk telling it.
However I wasn't able to find anything about it, I'm out. I never really tried breaking codes anyways, sounds interesting though, kinda insane.
