PicoCTF2018 Cryptography caesar cipher 2


Objective:

Can you help us decrypt this message [1] ? We believe it is a form of a caesar cipher. You can find the ciphertext in /problems/caesar-cipher-2_0_372a62ea0204b948793a2b1b3aeacaaa on the shell server.


Hint:

(1) You'll have figure out the correct alphabet that was used to encrypt the ciphertext from the ascii character set (2) <a href="https://www.asciitable.com/">ASCII<a> Table
Solution:

Here is the output for the nc session


 ^WQ]1B4iQ/SaO@M1W>V3`AMXcABMO@3\BMa3QC`3k


Solution:



So I assume this is a shift but on ASCII instead of the alphabet


This site can decrypt these for us
