A simple yet effective Python tool th 8F26 at encodes and decodes text messages using character manipulation and random letter injection for basic encryption.
- 🔒 Encode messages with a custom algorithm
- 🔓 Decode previously encoded messages
- 🎨 Colorful terminal output for better readability
- 🔄 Option to continue encoding/decoding multiple messages
- 🛡️ Basic text scrambling for casual privacy
- Python 3.x
- termcolor library
# Clone the repository
git clone https://github.com/Naeem-360/message_encode_decode.git
# Navigate to the project directory
cd message_encode_decode# Install required packages
pip install termcolorRun the script using Python:
python encode_decode.py- Takes each word in your message
- For words with 3 or more characters:
- Swaps the first and last character
- Adds 3 random letters at the beginning
- Adds 3 random letters at the end
- For words with fewer than 3 characters:
- Simply reverses the word
- Takes each encoded word
- For words with random letters added:
- Removes the first 3 random characters
- Removes the last 3 random characters
- Swaps the first and last character back to original position
- For short words:
- Reverses them back to original
The application features:
- Clear menu options for encoding or decoding
- Color-coded results (encoded messages in red, decoded messages in yellow)
- Divider lines for improved readability
- Friendly welcome and exit messages with emoji
Original message:
Hello World
Encoded message (random letters will vary):
abc oellHxyz def orlWdghi
Decoded message:
Hello World
- 📱 Send messages with basic privacy
- 🎮 Create simple puzzles or games
- 🎓 Educational tool for understanding basic text manipulation
- 🔍 Introduce beginners to the concept of encryption
This is a simple encoding algorithm for fun and is not suitable for securing sensitive information. It provides only very basic obfuscation, not true cryptographic security.
