SUMMARY

The forum discussion revolves around decrypting a message from an image linked at http://www.davesbrain.ca/miscpix/code.gif. Users encountered access issues due to insufficient privileges, prompting one participant to host the image themselves. The decryption process involved frequency analysis and substitution techniques, referencing tools like http://www.prism.net/user/dcowley/analysub.html. Ultimately, the message was identified as a variation of the phrase "all your base are belong to us," highlighting the challenges of using well-known phrases in cryptographic puzzles.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of basic cryptography concepts
  • Familiarity with frequency analysis techniques
  • Experience with substitution ciphers
  • Knowledge of online image hosting solutions
NEXT STEPS
  • Explore advanced cryptographic techniques for message decryption
  • Learn about frequency analysis in cryptography
  • Research substitution cipher methods and their applications
  • Investigate online tools for hosting and sharing images securely
USEFUL FOR

This discussion is beneficial for cryptography enthusiasts, puzzle solvers, and anyone interested in the practical application of decryption techniques.

Umm - it says I don't have sufficient priviledges to access the photo. Can you maybe post it in a different way or tell my computer to stop being insane?
 
Or, is that the decryption process you're talking about? I try to look at it and it never opens..
 
I believe it has to first be approved by moderators. This is the case in the General Discussion forum.

Try again later. If still not, I'll poke a moderator about it.

Edit: Never mind, I decided to just host it myself. See first post for link.

Is it "all your base are belong to us"?
 
You tell me. Are you guessing?

How would guess that? No, I used the frequencies shown on http://www.prism.net/user/dcowley/analysub.html" (among others) and did a few substitutions until something started to make sense. Well, as much sense as this famous quote can make. :wink:

Yeah, I figured it would be solved backwards. I should have chosen a less well-known phrase to defeat that. I was hoping it would be solved by figuring out the cypher.
