> The [numbers](https://jupiter.challenges.picoctf.org/static/f209a32253affb6f547a585649ba4fda/the_numbers.png)... what do they mean?
**Solution**
Given *16 9 3 15 3 20 6 { = picoCTF* \[given that is the format]\
0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26\
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\
Thus *20 8 5 14 21 13 2 5 18 19 13 1 19 15 14 } = thenumbersmason}*

> The one time pad can be cryptographically secure, but not when you know the key. Can you solve this? We've given you the encrypted flag, key, and a table to help `UFJKXQZQUNB` with the key of `SOLVECRYPTO`. Can you use this [table](https://jupiter.challenges.picoctf.org/static/1fd21547c154c678d2dab145c29f1d79/table.txt) to solve it?.

### 13 \[100 pts]
> **Description**
>
> Cryptography can be easy, do you know what ROT13 is? `cvpbPGS{abg_gbb_onq_bs_n_ceboyrz}`
**Solution**
I could just go to an online converter, BUT I decided to write the code myself.
```
enc_message = 'cvpbPGS{abg_gbb_onq_bs_n_ceboyrz}'
message = ""
rot = 13
alphabet = 'abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyzABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ'
for c in enc_message:
try:
index = alphabet.index(c)
new_letter = alphabet[(index + rot )% len(alphabet)]
if index < 26: # Fix mismatched casing
message += new_letter.lower()
elif index > 26:
message += new_letter.upper()
except: # Doesn't exist in alphabet
message += c
continue
print(message)
```

> Decrypt this [message](https://jupiter.challenges.picoctf.org/static/6385b895dcb30c74dbd1f0ea271e3563/ciphertext).
**Solution**
Reusing the code from earlier with a little modification because we need to try all possibilities to get to this point I made this code
```python
enc_message = '{dspttjohuifsvcjdpoabrkttds}'
alphabet = 'abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyzABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ'
for shift in range(0, 26): # Shift 1 to 25 letters (26 would be no shift)
message = ''
for c in enc_message:
try:
index = alphabet.index(c)
new_letter = alphabet[(index + shift)% len(alphabet)]
if index < 26: # Fix mismatched casing
message += new_letter.lower()
elif index > 26:
message += new_letter.upper()
except: # Doesn't exist in alphabet
message += c
continue
print(str(shift) + " " + message)
```

### Tapping \[200 pts]

**Solution**
Hmmm, let me just guess Morse code maybe. Connecting it gives an easy impression with \
.--. .. -.-. --- -.-. - ..-. { -- ----- .-. ... ...-- -.-. ----- -.. ...-- .---- ... ..-. ..- -. ...-- ----. ----- ..--- ----- .---- ----. ..... .---- ----. }\
Which put into [Cyber Chef](https://gchq.github.io/CyberChef/#recipe=From_Morse_Code\('Space','Line%20feed'\)) comes out the flag. (Note to do this you have to remove the {})
