Warconn Posted September 16, 2009 Author Share Posted September 16, 2009 Hey guys, been working on learning some different programming languages, but i have decided to do something in vb6 for Eclipse.If you have ever played Travian, or Tribal Wars, or any online game that involved mass messages and the possible spy, you know how the importance of encryption…CryptX is a safe and easy method for encrypting text, sending out the encryption, and then decrypting it again for the other person to read.How it works...Encrypting Text1\. Type your message into the Message box2\. Type in the encryption key (save this to give to trusted people)(Must be numbers)3\. Hit the encrypt Button4\. Copy encrypted message and send to anyone you want.5\. Give the encryption key to people you trustEasy as that!Decrypting Text1\. Copy the encrypted message into the message box2\. Type in the encryption key which you should have received from the sender3\. Hit the Encrypt/Decrypt Button4\. Your message will appear in the encrypted message boxAnd there you go…This can be easily added to a website for download if you have incorporated a mail system into your game, or wish to use it on a forum.And there you go, [CryptX](http://dl.getdropbox.com/u/1461892/Cryptx.exe)Let me know what you think, or if there are any bugsThanksWarconnEDITTry decrypting this to see if you can get it working.```~SOQCOE_PB^_EAYD]EYCBOYCE^YCZRESSaWDUYXXP_@SB_[SE;<;<; Encryption Key: 6666``` Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alster Posted September 20, 2009 Share Posted September 20, 2009 Most forums use MySQL to store messages and encryption can easily be added to that - it's only a few lines of PHP. And if you use it in game the server operator won't be able to see what people are saying (which is bad if you want to ban wrong doers and not actually log in) unless you decrypt it server side which would require the key.I'm not saying this is a bad thing I'm just finding it a bit pointless… Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Warconn Posted September 20, 2009 Author Share Posted September 20, 2009 Right, on a forum it is pointless.Ingame, i have a mail system that can mail to the guild, the mail system is never seen by the operator, which is where the encryption can come into place.This was made mostly for the tribal wars/Travian players, who have problems with spys all the time, but it can also be used for other purposes.Thanks for the feedbackWarconn Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Warconn Posted September 20, 2009 Author Share Posted September 20, 2009 Thanks, i just modified one of the mail systems that was posted here, and then added CryptX to it as an option. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
