Hint: try ROT13.
- abhiminator 6y agoThank you. Tried that as well, still throws up a string of letters and numbers. But the frequency this time seemed a bit more consistent, so the trick is to apply some sort of frequency analysis, I guess. Still on it. BTW, are there any more of such 'puzzle hunt' websites where you could play around and sharpen your decoding skills? Thanks!

- barbs 6y agoQuick posix shell rot13 tip: pipe it into: tr '[A-Za-z]' '[N-ZA-Mn-za-m]'
- ramses0 6y agoAlso sometimes useful is vim: `g?` ... it's useful to have "scrambled" lines in notes for protection against casual disclosure. Vim used to have a (terrible) encryption capability, but lately I've been fairly happy with `pass` (passwordstore.org) for basic local encryption.
- efreak 6y agoThere's a rot13 command in the bsdgames package on Ubuntu. Or you could just create an alias. Not sure if the command takes file input.
