Anyone interested in trying to break an encryption i have written?

i have created an encryption system, idk if i could call it an algorithm, but i want to see if it is breakable, and this is the first place i could think of to find people like this.

basically, i have attached a text file with the encrypted text.

anyone willing to take on the task to test the security of this encryption method?

encrypted.txt2.97KB

Why is this in help?

Upload the contents of the text file rather than the file itself

if it is breakable

yes

Kuinox•5/13/24, 2:14 PM

can you give me a "crib" ? (a sequence of few words present in your test)

KKuinox can you give me a "crib" ? (a sequence of few words present in your test)

"journey unlike any other. With her"

KKuinox > if it is breakable yes

TheSnowOwlOP•5/13/24, 2:28 PM

i assume it is breakable yes lol

TheSnowOwlOP•5/13/24, 2:29 PM

this is my first real encryption project, so im still learning and seeing what i can do hehe

Kuinox•5/13/24, 2:31 PM

well first, a good encryption system should be unbreakable even if other know how it works

TheSnowOwlOP•5/13/24, 2:33 PM

im aware of that ^^

Kuinox•5/13/24, 2:33 PM

and without knowing how it works, the characater distribution of your thing isn't good

Kuinox•5/13/24, 2:34 PM

TheSnowOwlOP•5/13/24, 2:35 PM

but like i said it is my first ever made, thats why i assume it is breakable. and that is also why i asked for people to break it to learn more about it you know

elaborate?

TheSnowOwlOP•5/13/24, 2:35 PM

i read that character distributions might imply the use of a certain language?

TheSnowOwlOP•5/13/24, 2:35 PM

do you mean it in that way

Kuinox•5/13/24, 2:36 PM

a good encryption output is indecernible from random noise

Kuinox•5/13/24, 2:36 PM

if your character distribution isn't good, it means you leak out information

TheSnowOwlOP•5/13/24, 2:36 PM

right

what did you use to get this graph?

Kuinox•5/13/24, 2:40 PM

chatgpt

TheSnowOwlOP•5/13/24, 2:40 PM

damn interesting

TheSnowOwlOP•5/13/24, 2:40 PM

how

Kuinox•5/13/24, 2:40 PM

it itself wrote python to get this graph

TheSnowOwlOP•5/13/24, 2:40 PM

dang

Kuinox•5/13/24, 2:40 PM

it's nice to quickly visualise stuff

Kuinox•5/13/24, 2:40 PM

but still, don't trust it too much

TheSnowOwlOP•5/13/24, 2:41 PM

im not, dont worry, its just a learning project

TheSnowOwlOP•5/13/24, 2:41 PM

not planning to secure any data with it at all

Kuinox•5/13/24, 2:41 PM

I meant the chatgpt output lol

TheSnowOwlOP•5/13/24, 2:41 PM

TheSnowOwlOP•5/13/24, 2:42 PM

just curious, are you trying more things on the data?

TTheSnowOwl just curious, are you trying more things on the data?

Kuinox•5/13/24, 3:08 PM

no, i have a day job you know :kekw:

TheSnowOwlOP•5/13/24, 3:08 PM

its alright

TheSnowOwlOP•5/13/24, 3:08 PM

good luck

You are gonna have to share the code for it if you want us to try decrypt it. Security through obfuscation is generally thought of as an antipattern

Never roll your own cryptography unless you are an experienced mathematician / cryptographer

Yes, but as a learning exercise its not a bad idea.

DDante Yes, but as a learning exercise its not a bad idea.

Kuinox•5/14/24, 2:35 PM

I think it is

Kuinox•5/14/24, 2:36 PM

you didn't shared the method, you probably just tried your ideas without having idea of the domain.

Kuinox•5/14/24, 2:37 PM

basis of cryptorgraphy is math, and nobody ask for review of a cryptographic system by just sharing the output, you need to share the process
