Hey, I worked on something similar to this. A knight’s tour variation, or transposition that looks like knight’s tour when it is done One of my las…
Hi, I’m doing well, thanks. How about you? It’s nice to see with how much enthusiasm and eagerness both of you are working on the null/skip thing. Es…
Wow, this is quite an interesting event overall. Many of the topics are exactly my cup of tea. Will you be there, Jarlve?
Hello, today I have decided to stop working on z340. I had a great time here in the forum and would like to thank everyone. It is nice to exchange id…
408 cipher, columns randomized in 34 by 10 as test: spike at 17*20 with 70.89% improvement rate and at 34*10 with 40.6% improvement rate. Oops
A minor update: I have written a small tool that creates word lists / dictionaries from text files (e. g. Project Gutenberg books). These serve as th…
I’m glad you’re back in, Jarlve. Did you also use reference encodings for comparison in this test? Are they recognized as columnar rearrangements / ke…
Hi capricorn, yes, rail fence has been tested as well as skytale (wrapping a strip of paper around a pencil). The "byfire" rearrangement is…
Hi Mr lowe, this is a very interesting one! Is it a shuffled or modified z340 with different symbols used? It has a lot in common with z340 (same ra…
Thanks to everyone for the feedback and new ideas! I don’t know how much time I can invest in the next few days, but hopefully I will be able to contr…
Jarlve: Yes, I agree with you. In my example there can only be one "+"-pair. If the entire bottom line is filled with "+"-symbols,…
But there is maybe another attack vector which I am examining at the moment: Split the cipher at each occuring "+"-Symbol da:+ ==Ax3…
Yes, if the keyword is short, Brute-Force is possible. That’s what I’m working on right now. I hope Zodiac was lazy and used a short, repeated word. I…
Do you get a spike at P19 with the numbers? Yes. You can copy your numbers into AZDecrypt and click "Format -> Convert to characters" an…
smokie: When I convert my cipher to numbers using AZDecrypt, I get the same result as you. Seems fine to me. I’ts end of the work day now and have a …
