Fibonacci Rules and Banana

Posted by DesertFox on July 13, 2006, 1:19 p.m.

So I'm writing a few scripts for simple, effective encryption and decryption - the best part is even if the person knows the method, he doesnt have the combo-passkey, and since the en-dec is built into a game, he can't just create a file of zeros to figure out how to hack it. How will it work? Lets just say "Fibonacci", which isn't 100% correct - it's just inspiration.

Meaning it will be secure to 99% of the people who play it, probably more.

I'm going to use it to secure files in Pawned - w00t w00t!

I'm going to get my GFX card in a few days hopefully - I'm going to try to go back to 6.0 in the meantime - which means you may see a new demo of Pawned soon!

Oh, and PEANUT BUTTER JELLY TIME!

yay peanut butter jelly!

I'm looking forward to the next demo of pawned =)

The first encryption thing I ever made just replaced each letter/number with a different one. Very easy to break.

Ace02 - you don't even know how I'm going to do it - so how do you know its horrible? I said Fibonacci was the inspiration, not, in fact, the algorithm.

So re-read the topic. And almost anything is better than nothing. Have you ever made encryption algorithms? No?

Boy, don't you feel smart? What a horrible way to respond to a topic you didn't even read.

marbs Yeah, but even that is better than nothing..

I have an IQ over 150 - I'm not just writing something simple - I'm trying to make something effective, and worthwhile.

Not to start a flamewar, but I havent even shown you any algorithms, so dont say its bad until you actually see something

Hows about I encrypt a file, and let you try to decrypt it? Is that a good challenge?

Lol I got bored and made an encrypter once. It read all the letters in a string, changed tham to numbers,added a random number, then back into a letter. It worked but it wasnt very useful.

Oh, this is going to be useful - dual-keys intermeshed with each-other based off of a 8-character hexidecimal code - woot!

Okay - no problem with that. 100% is what I'm aiming at for this - easy to use and hard to break. Question is, should I encrypt me VerTech files? Or leave them open and editable by hand?

i think many people here have IQs of over 150…

yeah…

anyways, kind of cool that you're encrypting them…

Descriptive Classifications of Intelligence Quotients

IQ Description % of Population

130+ Very superior 2.2%

120-129 Superior 6.7%

110-119 High average 16.1%

90-109 Average 50%

80-89 Low average 16.1%

70-79 Borderline 6.7%

-69 Extremely low 2.2%

2.2% for just above 130 - people in the 150's range are extremely rare, I think it is less than 1 in 10000, and I may be wrong, it might be higher, or lower. Remember, it is one of those curves - the majority is in the center, and as you go to the edges, the amount drops exponentially.
