Hey there facepunch, I've recently gotten my hands on a Cipher that I've tried to crack but I'm failing to. I have no clue what algorythem this is and I'd figure I'd ask for some help or for someone to break it. If this is the wrong subforum for this then mod please move it.
This is all the information I was given:

Sorry dude, there's so many known cipher types out there that any one who would try would end up potentially spending longer than the average human lifespan through each one with every individual possible combinations to try to find the right one.
Not to mention, this may use a one-time cipher that only the sender and the intended receiver can decode.
This is also a very weird sentence, whatever it is because it consists entirely of four-letter words.
Edit: Is this where you found it?

Well, before i take a look at it, what ciphers have you attempted to decode this as already?

if everyone had that attitude then no arg puzzle involving cryptography would ever get solved

oh and just because it's split into strings of four doesn't necessarily mean it's entirely four letter words
i'd say it's a common technique for tricking code crackers
i'm going to take a look at it now, and i can already spot one potential flaw with the cipher used
pairs of repeating characters
It's probably decodable with this, but the four letter spacing would make it hard to discern what any word in here is supposed to be.

It's very likely that it's either run through more than one different cipher and/or it's been run through a polyalphabetic cipher, because if it was monoalphabetic it would be fairly easy to break either by brute forcing it with a tool like that or manually replacing the letters based on the frequency analysis. So yeah, probably either a weird combination of ciphers or just one particularly strong one.

Tried that already, spent hours trying to figure it out.

Yeah, got it here. I'm certain the poster of this code used an algorithm that is intended to be near uncrackable. Although, I know personally the dude who made the message and knowing him, he intended it to be crackable but a pain to.

I can tell you all its not Affine nor is it Viginere. I was told it was neither of those as I had spent a few hours trying to use that method to crack it only for the OP of the cipher to say neither of those methods were used.

Which is why I firstly thought it'd be Affine or Viginere. But, it 'apparently' is neither of those. I am pretty much stumped on this one.
