I've been reading a lot about cryptography lately. Anyone else find ciphers interesting?

that's cool but base64 is kinda basic tbh.. u gotta try real stuff if u wanna be l33t.

just a way to encode text so it looks like gibberish. it's not real encryption.

it is p. easy to crack if u have the key anyway.

yeah it's more for fun than actual security.

i watched a documentary about the enigma machine once. that stuff is fascinating.

enigma is old school. modern encryption uses math. prime numbers and stuff.

yeah RSA is practically unbreakable right now unless quantum computers become a thing.
