Hello all, I'm here today to teach, or more walk you through basic encryption. If you're looking for a history on it I'd say read this wiki article. If you're wanting to learn how and why it is used in hacking and how it benefits you continue reading.

Standard Encryption Basics.

There are many types of encryption some weak and some overly strong. Now notice I said some are weak, you may be thinking "What is the point of weak encryption, isn't it suppose to be safe?" Well you're right, but encryption hasn't always been like you know it today, if some of you took history you may have heard of someone called Julius Caesar, he used this encryption called "Caesar Shift." Here is a Wiki link on it, with that here is a website where you can encrypt text using that encryption. Be warned don't encrypt sensitive information using this, it can be cracked rather easily. Now I know I may be confusing you here but think of this, that encryption was amazing back in the days of Caesar, no one figured out how it worked, but today it is pretty rare and easy to crack so no one uses it. Today we have higher standards such as AES.

Advance Encryption Basics.

So I left you hanging slightly there with AES, now you're wondering "what is AES?" Well here is a Wiki on it, and here is an online tool that lets you encrypt and decrypt any text string you wish. One of the best things about this encryption is that unless the third party has the pass-phrase it can take years to brute force it depending on how big the phrase was.

Hash Encryption Basics.

Now I've brushed on normal non-pass encryption such as Caesars Shift and pass-phrase encryption E.G AES. I think I should brush up on hashed encryption. These are completely different from the last two. They are commonly used in website databases such as Hack Forums, Facebook and Google. They're a one-way encryption so to get back the encrypted data you need to know the hash type (MD5, SHA-256 etc) and have a lot of free time since it can take awhile.Here is a Wiki on Hashing.

Now you should understand the basics of encryption and be ready to move on to more advance stuff, which is a story for another day. You can leave the thread and move on now, or you can stick around for some simple encryption tasks.

Use this site for the following tasks.

RC 4: Level - Newbie

Spoiler:

The KeyPass is "Legion".

Code:

CAESAR Shift: Level - Novice

Spoiler:

The Shift is "10"

Code:

Iye'bo xyg kx oxmbizdsyx xyfsmo.

ATOM-128: Level - Intermediate

Spoiler:

Code:

iickQfPmnxg6S41V+mn6S41X+YgsSIHVKmQunoAB+lN6S41B+yA6nxk6LI6X0IgC

GILA 7: Level - Experienced

Spoiler:

Code:

88nFcg=xqIzOBMZLwufeD8hLcg=53+1OqIzOBMZmwu3RD8zOBNBOBMZ4w8A5cg=5DuyOBMZFqSzbByGG

TRIPO-5 > FERON-74: Level - Master

Spoiler:

So a side note, this has been encrypted twice, once with two different encryption styles. First I used TRIPO-5, then I used FERON-74. So to decode it, reverse the order so it becomes FERON-74 then TRIPO-5.

Code:

I hope you enjoy this basic tutorial on encryption, if you want further reading look here and here. If you got stuck on anything or need some help, just shoot me a message or post here I'll get back to you as soon as I possibly can.
