// Introduction to The CodeX Project...
Hey Hackers! Blue Cosmo from CCS here and today I wanted to talk to you guys about my new upcoming project, The CodeX Project!
Project Name: The CodeX Project
Concept:
A python shell script that is well equipped with 10 different ciphers. This script can encrypt plaintext files and decrypt/bruteforce ciphertext files. Useful for CTF, encrypting files, decrypting or bruteforcing "common" ciphers, etc.
Inspiration:
Code = cipher
X = Roman numeral for "10",
Code X = 10 ciphers
Assassins Creed
Codex pages
Parts: [CIPHERS]
Caesar
Vigenere
Multiplicative
Reverse
ROT13
Base64
Phonetic
Binary
Octal
Hexadecimal
Capability:
Plaintext Encryption
Ciphertext decryption and bruteforcing
File input and output
Background:
The CodeX Project was inspired by the game Assassins Creed II. In the game, there were these Codex pages that were written by Altaïr Ibn-La'Ahad. His Codex was a journal written that documented his adventures with the Apple of Eden. What's cool about this is that these pages were encrypted with the Caesar Cipher.
I had learned about the Caesar Cipher in a cryptography course I took. In the said course, I also learned about plenty of other cool ciphers and encryption techniques. Only then I realized how fun it would be to program these different ciphers. To be able to encrypt plaintext, decrypt the ciphertext, or brute force certain encryptions would just be a cool and useful tool to have.
