Venom555: Yes, I don't know why.

All: I told you what to do . .. can anyone find it?

Thanks,

:D I take it War_MaN3 didn't understand you Venom...

I'd probably could uncrypt this, but it could be a virus :mad: and this isn't my computer that I'm on...

Hi,
Omg, its no virus . . . Scan it all you want . . . I don't try to hack people. Otherwise I could have already, by posting a program that deletes files that windows needs . . . I just want to see if people can get past it.

There is only one kind of ciper that is proven to be secure and a computer cannot do it. It's called the one time pad cipher. Was used by the russians during the cold war. More or less the key is the same exact size as the plaintext that is being encripted. The key is generated completely random. Without the key you will not break the cipher. Even when the aliens land in your back yard and let ya borrow thier advanced computers.

RC2, RC4, DES, 3DES, AES, etc are all breakable. But most of them are extremely time consuming to break. There is always the possibility that another break through in factoring will occur also.

Anyway, just because you are using a good ciper doesn't mean that your data cannot be broken. A cipher is nothing more then a lock. But if your using the lock on a old wooden door, most people wont mess with the lock, they'll just kick down the door.

How about we turn this into a logic game ? :p .
We try 13 digits number, and you tell us how many digits are right, but not in the right place, and how many are right and in the right place ?
WaR_MaN3, i doubt anyone would go trying and coding for at least a week or so to give you the number !
And, btw, if those people are really afraid that it might be a virus, just write down a big .DOC file, and do that encryption on it, and ask for a certain line of the .DOC file, this way there will be no trouble with Viruses/Trojans.
