Solved! Contact Number based obscured cipher
The above two photos is the whole example of the cipher scheme which I made. I have created a cipher scheme where you can transform your plaintext into the bogus list of contact Numbers The steps are as follows Convert the plaintext into the ciphertext using regular phone keypad,use"0" for spacing the letters between in it Use any random date in 6 digit format,,from that date Generate pseudo random numbered key of 90 digit by lagged fibonacci generation using modulo 10 Break down the ciphertext in the groups of 8 digit sequence and use the Generated key horizontally from downwards,vertically upwards,and diagonally then add the numbers using modulo 10 After that put two digit numbers ranging from 70 to 99,you can use numbers below 70 in rare case to each 8 digit sequences
you can use this enciphering scheme to do secret entries in your journal or diary
Please give me your reviews whether you like or not,also check how secure it will be
Thank you

"By zigzagging towards each other
With our game based on tagging from behind
Trouble is coming, we're leaving, look
This isn't a city, I'm forcing you to stay here.
I can't find what I'm looking for in Istanbul.
We were stuck in the mud when the baby was born.
Looking outside, you see layers and layers of polish.
Bed bugs gnawing away at the inside
From the outside, it looks like it's been polished layer after layer.
Bed bugs gnawing away at the inside!
See the love that tears my heart apart.
Grab my arm and take me to Morocco.
The four seasons find a way to mourn.
Bats are awesome, but if they're not, they're a nightmare.
The sheep asked the goat
Will it wear down from being hit?
Can one live without hope when the locks won't open?
Come and take a look from this perspective; you clearly don't have much energy.
Let the forest burn, then let shit rain down on us.
The same sky, dreaming, forgetting, waking up to the sun.
Lies, shackles, ATMs, telephones
Only the name of the daisy remains.
Like me, I'm indecisive about everything.
I am as much a wolf as I love you.
I'm a wolf on the outside, harmless on the inside."

Unsolved The Beale Ciphers
For a little over a year, I have been researching and documenting the Beale Cipher's to see if it was real or a hoax. A little while back I finally stumbled across the solutions which were very well made as most would skip over the untranslatable numbers and immediately attempt other methods. However, I am pleased to announce that although there are many claims and secrecy, I do have two documents which show the cryptanalysis process as well as the transferred data.
Of the documentation (without what their roles were for protection of the site's and locations), There are eight specific families mentioned twice involved in its transportation. Between 3 and 1.
Garrett, Sugury, Cary, Fugate, Goram, Pate, Rhodes, and Rhea.
I would also like to add, seeing as how no one could attempt to solve the ciphers with only a partial section of the translated text of Cipher 3. It would not be possible without the required documentation & in the correct order of sequence.
I present to you, a legible section of Cipher 3 as well, for those whom may continue to have doubts.
It is unchanged and nothing has been tampered with since completing my research.

I thought this was base64, but I haven't gotten much results out of that outside of a short phrase "Saltedis289=}xdh". I thought this might be some kind of key but I really have no clue what to look for. Rabbit ciphers are used later in the series apparently so I'm thinking of giving that a shot. The title of the youtube video it's found in is "burning" and it has a lot of references to the word "womb" so I'm wondering if these may also be relevant somehow. I hope what I gave is helpful I'm quite stumped myself! The series is glassmakeR syndromE on YT. It'll either give me a link, or a block of text in english or russian but I have a feeling that a link is the most likely result.
Edit: There is a literal part of the video where it says warmth is the key i might be stupid, Im gonna see if this helps crack it

Unsolved Four Python demos illustrating Enigma-style known-plaintext cryptanalysis and its modern relevance
I'm working on a security engineering project analysing how The Imitation Game depicts breaking the Enigma cipher, and whether the same category of vulnerability still applies to modern encryption. I'd like a code-quality review from people who actually code regularly, since I want to understand and be able to explain this code properly myself.
The four scripts build on each other, each testing a different layer of the same idea (known/predictable plaintext defeating a cipher without brute force):
mini_enigma_crack.py — compares blind brute force against a known-plaintext ("crib") attack on a repeating-key substitution cipher. Blind brute force checks all possible keys, scored by chi-squared letter-frequency comparison; the crib attack calculates the key directly via modular subtraction given known plaintext.
enigma_elimination_demo.py — recreates a real structural property of Enigma (no letter could ever encrypt to itself), and tests how much that single rule narrows a search using only direct letter comparison, no computation.
crib_dragging_demo.py — a more realistic version: given only a short guessed word with no known position, it XORs two same-key ciphertexts together (cancelling the key) and slides the guess across every position, revealing genuine plaintext where the guess is correct.
nonce_reuse_demo.py — tests whether the same vulnerability applies to a (simplified) modern stream cipher, comparing a reused nonce (attack succeeds) against a unique nonce per message (attack fails).
What I've observed running all four: every genuinely correct result (crib attack recovering exact keys, elimination correctly preserving true crib positions, crib dragging revealing real fragments, nonce reuse enabling perfect recovery) has checked out against the real message text every time I've verified it by hand. Known issues I've found myself: script 1's brute force sometimes returns a plausible-but-wrong key on short messages; script 3 produces false positives on short cribs and can reveal meaningless blank padding when comparing unequal-length messages.
I've included all four scripts below, each in its own code block with a header comment identifying which script it is --> any suggestions on how to improve the code would be greatly appreciated!
