So yes, move 2 to the right and up one for the next numbers in sequence. I might be mistaken, but there is an easier way to read this matrix. As disp…
If the 340 remains uncracked at some point I’d like to consider brute forcing all 17! permutations. But we’ll need to come up with a way to crack 11.2…
And here is "killing people." Interestingly, the tail end of "people" forms one of the 2 large pivots in Z340. With "niople…
You must have a ridiculously huge dictionary. Based on the word counts (I’m assuming that’s the number in front of the word), it’s pretty small actua…
Have you noted an improvement with your interpolation method? I have not experienced a problem with going from 5 to 6-grams, but perhaps it could work…
Do you think that using 6-grams will be of benefit? I’m not saying they won’t but there is a point of diminishing returns somewhere. I have not done…
I tried daikon’s symbol expansion idea on suspected wildcard symbols "+", "F" and "B" and came up with something that ju…
Thanks for doing all of this work daikon. I understand that you are expanding the suspected wildcards to multiple symbols, correct? Yep. After you …
Not sure if this has been performed yet.. Can you take out the top two, three or four top symbol counts and replace them with a space. Making sure the…
Tried to post earlier, but my internet is super flaky today, so I couldn’t until now. I’ve now tested the following sets of wildcards: {‘+’,’B’,’p’} …
Nothing to report regarding wildcard solves in Z340. I’ll let it run overnight, just to be sure, and then move on to the next set of possible wildcard…
Forgot to mention that this method also worked for the earlier "purple haze" cipher, when I "expanded" the top 3 out of 4 wildcard…
‘q’ only occurs twice Symbol 5 for me is the Symbol at Column 1, Row 1. I guess it looks more like a backwards P. There is a double "qq" on …
Try +, W and B. See what happens. I am thinking that because of bigram repeat stats, it is likely either + and W or + and B. Likely not all three. O…
Will masking the most common digraphs, like TH, rather than some of the less common digraphs, make a message more difficult for ZKD to solve? Can you …
