AZdecrypt 1.14 release added to the main page:
What has changed?
First of all a big thank you to beijinghouse for his code contributions:
– beijinghouse recoded the loading routine and it is now loads n-grams up to 20 times as fast! It also supports loading n-gram files directly from .gz files.
– beijinghouse also made some speed optimizations to the variable types, random number generator and IOC calculations of the solver and this sped up the solvers by up to 10%.
– beijinghouse excellent all-around 6-grams are included with the download. I like to see these as a 6-gram version of the Practical cryptography 5-grams.
– Download link to beijinghouse’s 7-grams: https://drive.google.com/open?id=1eEWCO … 29c2ijw3_f
is there how to rearrange varies columns at the same time ??! I say, for example, use an argument as 3,2,4,7,8,10,17,1,5,6,9,11,12,13,14,15,16.
– @ Marclean: added, go to Functions, Transposition and look for Rearrange columns or rows. In the A1 "key#" field enter a key such as you described separated by commas or spaces.
The text in the input window is now transposed correctly. If you now click on "Solve", the cipher will still be solved. Apparently the previously loaded cipher is still stored somewhere. If you copy the transposed cipher and insert it again, "Solve" does not lead to any result anymore (as desired). Something is obviously not updated correctly.
– @ Largo: issued, this was actually part of some hidden functionality which is now disabled.
– Renamed the "Substitution + transposition" to "Substitution + simple transposition" and added an interface. All transposition operations that have a smaller set of possible arguments will be housed here. Added Spiral and L-route transpositions as well as Largo’s Split transposition idea:
I’ve added this transposition to my solver for the next AZdecrypt release. It has solved your cipher and no results on the 340 so far. It can pick any set of dimensions and then make a horizontal or vertical split at any offset of which each part could have its own transposition (none, mirrored, flipped, columnars, diagonals).
– Improved "Substitution + row bound" solver.
– Improved the solve rate of mostly all solvers a bit.
– Added solver "Substitution + crib list" by request of beijinghouse. Go to the Misc folder and look to the readme.txt for an explanation. It basically allows you to batch cribs at the positions of your choosing.
– Included a new build of my Reddit n-grams. These are great when first-person language is expected such as the Zodiac communications.
– Fixed issue with status display. MIPS is now more accurate. Also added the average IOC.
– Compiled with the new 2019 FreeBASIC 1.06.0 release.
– Many bug fixes. New source can be found in: https://drive.google.com/open?id=0B5r0r … mljRWJvYkU
Updated the readme.txt with added names of the people that have helped me over the years plus some links to other people’s work. Let me know if I have forgotten you!
- Many thanks to the people of the FreeBASIC forum for helping me out with code issues: counting_pine, dodicat, fxm, Lothar Schirm, MichaelW, MrSwiss, PaulSquires and many more. - Many thanks to the people of the Zodiackillersite cipher forums for their help and support: daikon, doranchak, glurk, Largo, Marclean, Mr lowe, smokie treats and many more. - Thanks to Geoff L. (smokie treats) for helping me design and test the "nulls and skips" solver and for the creation of countless test ciphers and cipher statistics. - Thanks to beijinghouse @ www.zodiackillersite.com for: --> Providing excellent all-around n-grams that were compiled from a 3TB corpus. --> Recoding the n-gram loading routine so that it is up to 20 times faster and the added support for loading n-grams directly from .gz files. --> Several code speed optimizations to the solvers which increase the MIPS by up to 10%.

Great work Jarlve!
Thanks for incorporating the speedups I found into the main code so quickly.
Excited to see what everyone here can do with the new 6-grams and 7-grams too.
For those who haven’t tested my n-grams yet, here’s a few quick examples of how they tend to get slightly better solves on a handful of semi-tricky ciphers:

This is the coolest thing ever! Thank you, thank you, thank you!
Forgot to mention that the Create transposition matrix function is also spruced up a little bit with the addition of transpose and untranspose buttons which act directly upon the cipher in the input window. As a reminder: it is possible to draw straight lines and diagonals by right-mouse clicking from your last entry.
Hey Jarlve and beijinghouse,
many thanks to both of you for this really cool update! It’s really great when people work together and develop awesome things. Sooner or later the time comes when z340 will be broken!
Translated with www.DeepL.com/Translator
Thank you very much for the update. I have plans to use it on a project next weekend, which I will post. Thanks again.
Amazing work! Thanks again for the excellent updates!
Jalrve: What ngram files should I use with the rows bound option? Can you make those available? Also, what is the name of the ngram file for the first person language? Thanks.
Thanks beijinghouse, DMW, Largo, smokie treats and doranchak.
Jalrve: What ngram files should I use with the rows bound option? Can you make those available? Also, what is the name of the ngram file for the first person language? Thanks.
The row bound solver uses the Reddit n-grams automatically and these come with the download. By default it will include 3, 4 and 5-grams but you can make it include 6-grams also by first loading the "6-grams_english_jarlve_reddit.txt" file. Any of the Reddit n-grams are great for first person language.
Jarlve: How long should I run something like this for…?

If you can then let it run overnight with 6-grams to be sure. I still need to speed optimize the row bound solver, it’s kinda slow. While at it I should probably add 2-grams and 7-grams as well.
Here’s a cipher I made that simulates your example.

O.k., I will try that and see how long it takes. I have company arriving on Friday night, but I get up early in the morning 7 days a week, and will hopefully make some posts this weekend while my company is sleeping. Maybe sooner. Thanks a lot.
I let it run all night and got a partial solution that I can identify by looking at the longest strings where there are long words.

i have altered the bottom section using lower case
i will work on it more smokey if you think it helps.
after lots of work my best guess with google assist . walter white breaking bad
and finally google was my friend.
Mild-mannered high school chemistry teacher Walter White thinks his life can’t get much worse. His salary barely makes ends meet, a situation not likely to improve once his pregnant wife gives birth and their teenage son is battling cerebral palsy. But Walter is dumbstruck when he learns he has terminal cancer. Realizing that his illness probably will ruin his family financially, Walter makes a desperate bid
i will work on it more smokey if you think it helps.
Not this time, but definitely some assistance next time if you are interested. I am working on something like the above for the 340, which probably won’t work, but I need to do it anyway. The message won’t necessarily carry over from one line to the next though, so it will be harder.
