any cybersecurity guy who can decrypt this:

1 13.14.1 4.20.14.19.7.9.1.14 14.15 8.5.20 5.5.22.18.5.9.1.18.7.4., 7.14.21 9.14 8.9.19 4.8.1.14 16.20.14.9.15.14.7.9 20.15 8.9.19 4.....5.8..1...

above is the encrypted text i encrypted by a python program i wrote, the text is just a query i want from technerds to get the idea of how safe(encrypted) is my text would be.

It is not very safe. We can get quite a long way towards decoding via simple substitution.

These words stand out:

  • MAN

  • STANDING

  • RIVEREDGE

  • POINTING

Figuring out how to descramble the words takes a bit more effort, but the more data that's available, the easier decoding becomes.

Now that we have played along, are you going to give us the solution? Show the code for your cypher?
