I think a simple greeting would be too boring and banal, so I made an encrypted one ;) The cyphering may look obvious, but don't jump to conclusions so fast.

Greetings bodqhrohro. What does your username and "h4siaizP2foaa/PiVeJmyVhKaGdO0v1+caaaaa==" mean?

bodqhrohro 04-21-2018 06:53 AM

My nickname is described here. In short, this is a diminutive form of my name followed with the onomatopoeia of pig grunt in Ukrainian, both written in Cyrillic and encoded in KOI-7.

Determining what does the title means is a challenge;) If it would turn up too hard, I will offer some hints.

bodqhrohro 04-25-2018 02:19 PM

Okay, still no any guesses, so here's my first hint. To decode this, the short pipeline of usual UNIX utilities is enough. Guess what ;) Good luck!

linustalman 04-28-2018 08:02 AM

Sorry bodqhrohro, I'm too busy to work out the meaning.

Okay, if still no one have guessed it, I'm uncovering the answer:

echo 'h4siaizP2foaa/PiVeJmyVhKaGdO0v1+caaaaa=='|tr A-Ma-m a-mA-M|base64 -d|gunzip

Luckily, it wasn't hard to recall it after almost a year :D

That's a lot of work to just get 'Hi all!'.

Congratulations, you've got the point of HTTPS coercion :D

The double == is a dead giveaway that is is base64 encoded. FYI, base64 is not encryption but encoding :) Encryption requires a key to decrypt, encoding does not.

Welcome by the way!

I just guessed: "tr A-Ma-m a-mA-M" is your key :)

So although I suppose technically that is encryption, I wouldn't use it to protect my financial info. Clever though!

That's why I told it may look obvious. But it's not that simple.

There is a kind of key.

Whaouh not very simple...
I'm wondering how one could tell about the "tr A-Ma-m a-mA-M" part... Was there any hint about it?
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_file_signatures can help regarding the gunzip part ;)
