    Urgent
In summary, The person is seeking help in cracking a code that they have been unable to solve due to their lack of expertise in cryptography. They provide some background information and ask for assistance, but other users are skeptical and suggest that the code may be unsolvable or a hoax. The person reveals that there is a second code that may be related and offers to share it for further analysis.

For reasons of a personal nature, it's important to me that this code get cracked as soon as possible. I spent a long time on this but I simply can't get - cryptography has never been my strong point. I'd appreciate any help! Thanks so much in advance!

Why? What reasons?

Why don't you show what you have done instead of just saying "break this". Do you really expect to get an answer?

I'm no cryptographer, but logic tells me that we need to know a little about your background into this code. What is its nature? This code could mean anything and have an infinite number of meanings. Please, try give us something to work with here.

I really don't know much about cryptography, so I didn't get very far. There are 15 characters, so it can't be one of those Caesar square things. I suspect that some characters when combined correspond to a letter, but I'm not sure.

Was this inscribed on a pendant that your adopted parents found around your neck when they rescued you from a cave?

Alas, no.

It's a one time pad. Can't be broken. Sorry.

There is a second code that I think used the same cipher - would it be helpful if I posted that? I noticed there were some similarities between them.

What is code-breaking?

Code-breaking is the process of deciphering a coded message or system, in order to reveal its hidden meaning or information.

Why is urgent help needed for code-breaking?

Urgent help is needed for code-breaking because it is often a time-sensitive task, especially in cases where the coded message contains critical information that needs to be decoded quickly.

What skills are needed for code-breaking?

Code-breaking requires a combination of logical thinking, problem-solving skills, knowledge of different code systems, and proficiency in computer programming and cryptanalysis.

What are some common methods used in code-breaking?

Some common methods used in code-breaking include frequency analysis, brute force attack, and using code-breaking software or tools.

Is code-breaking ethical?

The ethical implications of code-breaking depend on the context and intent behind the act. In some cases, code-breaking may be necessary for national security or to prevent harm, while in other cases it may be considered a violation of privacy or personal property. It is important for code-breakers to consider the ethical implications of their actions and follow ethical guidelines and laws.
