+gbrandon Posted December 26, 2004 Share Posted December 26, 2004 (edited) I am trying to find a virtual cache and it list hints that are encrypted using the geocaching.com decrpytion key. Unfortunatley, I cant find out how to decrypt the message. Anyone know how to do this? The waypoint is GCA035 in case anyone wants to view the site to understand what Im talking about. TIA Geoff Edited December 26, 2004 by gbrandon Quote Link to comment

TIA Geoff The key is located on the cache's site. It's near the hints on the right side of the page. The key is pretty simple to use. The letter in the code is translated to the letter above or below it in the key. A=N & N=A. Your name would be Trbss. Pretty simple, but effective. Quote Link to comment
Mushtang Posted December 26, 2004 Share Posted December 26, 2004 (edited) To decrypt it online simply hit the Decrypt link (above the encrypted hint) and a new page will load that has the hint in plain text. If you want to experiment with this encryption method, go to www.rot13.com. Edited December 26, 2004 by Mushtang Quote Link to comment
+briansnat Posted December 26, 2004 Share Posted December 26, 2004 Its right on the cache page just below the encrypted hint:i Decryption Key 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 (letter above equals below, and vice versa) Quote Link to comment
