No Sh….izzle Sherlock (spoiler).
Recently I’ve been passing time with the new Sherlock Holmes series from the BBC. Sherlock Holmes based in the modern day. It’s such a classic character composition that I don’t seem to mind what format it comes in, as long as it’s good.
In the series, many of characters have websites, Mr Watson has his blog, and Sherlock has his ‘The Science of Deduction‘ website.
On Sherlocks website you can find hidden messages he’s been getting from ‘Anonymous’ . ‘Anonymous’ is taunting Sherlock with hidden messages, which Sherlock can’t be bothered with so he opens them out to the public.
The most recent one ‘hidden message 3‘, is a simple letter swap encryption. By substituting the characters in the message for self created symbols, you get a visual encryption. It’s not hard to break. It took me about 1-2 minutes from first seeing it, taking a screenshot and decoding it. It’s good fun though, I hope some harder ones come a long.
Here’s my solution (‘Sherlock I have found you’):
