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?

Why is this in help?
Upload the contents of the text file rather than the file itself
if it is breakableyes can you give me a "crib" ? (a sequence of few words present in your test)
"journey unlike any other. With her"
i assume it is breakable yes lol
this is my first real encryption project, so im still learning and seeing what i can do hehe
well first, a good encryption system should be unbreakable even if other know how it works
im aware of that ^^
and without knowing how it works, the characater distribution of your thing isn't good
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?
i read that character distributions might imply the use of a certain language?
do you mean it in that way
a good encryption output is indecernible from random noise
if your character distribution isn't good, it means you leak out information
right
what did you use to get this graph?
chatgpt
damn interesting
how
it itself wrote python to get this graph
dang
it's nice to quickly visualise stuff
but still, don't trust it too much
im not, dont worry, its just a learning project
not planning to secure any data with it at all
I meant the chatgpt output lol
oh
xd
just curious, are you trying more things on the data?
no, i have a day job you know :kekw:
xd
its alright
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.
I think it is
you didn't shared the method, you probably just tried your ideas without having idea of the domain.
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
