[TuT] How to manually decrypt ROT-13 Hash [TuT] by 3x0r

This tutorial is for those who don't know about ROT-13 if you know it don't bother reading.

Introduction

Some people send ROT-13 type of emails to confuse unwanted readers thinking it's a mysterious language.
Same with some hackers want to communicate without knowing others what they are talking about.
It has been evolved in mid-1992 as a response to postings repeating urban myths on alt.folklore.urban, after some posters complained that "Sheesh!" as a response to newcomers was being overused.

So lets us start:

ROT-13 is the easiest Hash to crypt and also easier to decrypt
What to do is writing from A to Z and in the half make some spaces
a b c d e f g h i j k l m n o p q r s t u v w x y z

Then put under what you wrote from N to Z then from A to M
a b c d e f g h i. j .k l m..n o p q r s t u v w x y z
n o p q r s t u v w x y z..a b c d e f g h i. j .k l m

Lets try to crypt And decrypt HackForums
a b c d e f g h i. j .k l m..n o p q r s t u v w x y z
n o p q r s t u v w x y z..a b c d e f g h i. j .k l m
You check the character of the word and you write the character under it
H = u
a = n
c = p
k = x
F = s
o = b
r = e
u = h
m = z
s = f
so we get UnpxSbehzf

Is Rox-13 just a Caesar cipher?

Is Rox-13 just a Caesar cipher?

yea it is.
Spoiler (Click to View)why is it so short

That's awesome ;)

ROT-X is in fact a Caesar Cipher. Here's what wiki tells us:

In cryptography, a Caesar cipher, also known as a Caesar's cipher, the shift cipher, Caesar's code or Caesar shift, is one of the simplest and most widely known encryption techniques. It is a type of substitution cipher in which each letter in the plaintext is replaced by a letter some fixed number of positions down the alphabet. For example, with a shift of 3, A would be replaced by D, B would become E, and so on. The method is named after Julius Caesar, who used it to communicate with his generals.

What about numbers?

If you use just numbers, you use rot5, just letters would be rot13, and a combination of letters and numbers would be rot18.

rot47 is an extended edition with some extra special signs.

I myself, I always use double ROT13 for extra protection.
[/epicjoke]

Exactly :D

Glad to help anytime 😈
Soon I will do some other ROT Tutorials

[To The Limits]

Thank's man for this..Really usefull for me!!! 🙂

[zolja]

Thanks for this tutorial,its really usefull

If you're decrypting, or wanting to use ROT-13 for anything, Python provides an ever easy way of doing so:

Code

print(raw_input("Message: ").encode("rot13"))
