Okay Marclean,

So you want to change the offset of any particular rectangular ring in a cipher. Each ring would then be defined by 4 arguments, say in a 17 by 17 rectangle the outer ring would be x1=1, y1=1, x2=17, y2=17. The second outer ring would be x1=2, y1=2, x2=16, y2=16 and so on. And then a fifth argument to control the offset. That’s what you want right? I have to commend you on this idea, it’s quite original and I wonder if it could relate to the 340.

Exactly!!! and thank u
This "z 289" is just an example (in another topic I already posted the explanation) of minus 51 symbols in Cipher.
I imagine it can be applied to the original z340, Assuming that in the center of the cipher there is a dissimilar manipulation (or none) in a theoretical reassembly
Below image of z340 with rings.

Hey Marclean,

I’ll add your transposition idea to the next AZdecrypt update. Does the name "Offset rectangular chain" sounds good to you?

Hey Marclean,

wow
This is formidable !!
Yes the name "Offset rectangular chain" sounds very good !!!

Once again, thank you very much Mr Jarvle

Hey all,

I’ve updated the main post with a new AZdecrypt download (version 1.0b).

– Bug fixes.
– Added symbols menu.
– Added and improved stats.
– Added transposition schemes.
– Changed and moved some stuff, if you can’t find something please ask.
– Added "Batch ngrams" under File. Open "languages.txt" under "/Ngrams/Languages/" for example functionality.

If there are any issues please let me know and I will fix them asap. Marclean, your transposition idea can be found under Functions -> Transposition -> Offset rectangular chain.

Here’s a view of the symbols menu, note that you can change "set ngram symbol size" to display bigrams and higher.

– "frq" denotes the number of times the symbol appears in the cipher.
– "nba" denotes the number by appearance.
– "mid" denotes the midpoint shift of that symbol, a negative value means that the symbol is oriented more upwards in the cipher (and positive more downwards).

For example, when you look at the second image which shows the bigrams you will see a negative midpoint shift for most of them which means that the bigrams gravitate towards the upper part of the cipher.

If you want to merge symbols then use the "Replace selected symbol with" function.

Great updates – Thanks, Jarlve!

Marclean, your transposition idea can be found under Functions -> Transposition -> Offset rectangular chain.

Very nice!!!!
It was better than I imagined , all five arguments are working perfectly, besides being able to work the cipher in the way I had described, we can also make adjustments in specific quadrant variations of the cipher widening the analysis range, this is perfect, I’m riding Various schemes to analyze.

thank you Mr Jarlve

You are welcome Marclean. Please let me know if you encounter any issues, or have any other suggestions.

Nice new features, thank you for developing + sharing your tool! I am always impressed how fast your solver finds a solution.

If you find any bugs or do have suggestions I would greatly appreciate the feedback.

Unfornately I found a bug. Reproduction:

• Start AZDecrypt[/*:m:1h7yx3fz]
• Load a cipher[/*:m:1h7yx3fz]
• Click "Solve"[/*:m:1h7yx3fz]
• Close program by clicking "X"[/*:m:1h7yx3fz]
• -> Crash[/*:m:1h7yx3fz][/list:u:1h7yx3fz]

This occurs only when the solver is running.

 

Thanks allot for reporting it Largo, it should be fixed for next release. How are you doing by the way? Do you have any projects planned?

Thank you, I am fine! Today I’ve released a new tool:

Hey all,

I’ve updated the main post with a new AZdecrypt download (version 1.0c).

– Bug fixes.
– Faster solver.
– Wider window.
– Added new stats and format options.
– Added demo version of a transposition solver, let it run for a very long time.

Let me know if anything.

@Largo, I’m not sure if the issue you had will be resolved but I changed a couple of things.

Hello ,
I did a little test with offset rectangular chain ., "recoded" the cipher 408, and in fact, it becomes a new cipher.
The key, in this case it is ,rom the outer rectangle to the inner rectangle, -9, 6 , -9, 1 , -1 , 3 ,- 7 ( 07/11/1969 date of the send off the letters with the cipher inverted)

@doranchak,

Are you able to get the latest or any version of the WinGUI version of AZdecrypt to work on your Macintosch? If yes, how so?

Thanks

Hi Jarlve

http://zodiackillersite.com/viewtopic.php?f=81&t=2617&p=44200&hilit=Virtual+machine#p44200

Actually, this might be caused by file write differences, since I am copying the files from my Mac (which will generate the cipher files) to my Windows virtual machine (which is running AZDecrypt). If instead, I copy the 1.txt file within the Windows virtual machine into the Ciphers directory, it seems to work fine.

Of course I can not give the answer for doranchak but I use a mac too. It is not possible to run AZDecrypt natively on the mac. I’ve tried it via mono framework which can run windows applications written with .net technology (since it did not work I think AZDecrypt does not use .net). I use a virtual machine on my macbook and dual boot (bootcamp) on my iMac to run windows. Maybe it is possible to start AZDecrypt via wine: http://www.winehq.org
