Answers to Questions (FAQ)
How to encrypt using Nak-Nak cipher?
Nak-Nak encryption uses the base 16 hexadecimal to encode messages themselves encoded with the ASCII table.
Example: Encode the DUCK message, start by encoding it in ASCII (hexadecimal) i.e. 44,75,63,6B then, for each digit, replace it with its corresponding one in the following table:
| 0 = Nak |
| 1 = Nanak |
| 2 = Nananak |
| 3 = Nanananak |
| 4 = Nak? |
| 5 = nak? |
| 6 = Naknak |
| 7 = Naknaknak |
| 8 = Nak. |
| 9 = Naknak. |
| A (10) = Naknaknaknak |
| B (11) = nanak |
| C (12) naknak |
| D (13) nak! |
| E (14) nak. |
| F (15) naknaknak |
Example: DUCK ('44,75,63,6B 'in ASCII) is coded as 4=Nak? 4=Nak? 7=Naknaknak 5=nak? and so on: Nak? Nak? Naknaknak nak? Naknak Nanananak Naknak nanak
The case (upper and lower case) is taken into account as are the characters . and ?
How to decrypt Nak-Nak cipher?
The decryption of the Nak-Nak begins with the substitution of the different words Nak by the associated number in the table.
Example: Naknak Nak? Nak? Nanananak Naknak naknaknak Naknak Nak? Naknak nak? is constituted of Naknak=6, Nak?=4 etc. so 6,4,4,3,6,F,6,4,6,5
The resulting code is the ASCII code in hexadecimal format of the original message.
Example: 64,43,6F,64,65 is decoded d,C,o,d,e in ASCII code. dCode is the clear starting message.
How to recognize a Nak-Nak ciphertext?
The message consists of the sometimes repeated syllables Nak and Na. All words start with N and end with k.
Any reference to a duck or duckspeak are clues.
What is the Coink/Couink variant?
According to the preferences of some, ducks rather make Coin than Nak, this variant modifies Na in Coin or Couin.
