Crypto - Let's Crack Zodiac

Recommended Posts

Posted

 

On December 3rd, 2020, an international three-person team of codebreakers made a breakthrough with the Zodiac Killer's unsolved 340-character cipher.
By December 5th, the team finished cracking the cipher and sent the solution to the FBI.

This is the full message from the Zodiac Killer that was hidden in the 340-character cipher for 51 years:

 

I HOPE YOU ARE HAVING LOTS OF FUN IN TRYING TO CATCH ME 
THAT WASNT ME ON THE TV SHOW 
WHICH BRINGS UP A POINT ABOUT ME 
I AM NOT AFRAID OF THE GAS CHAMBER 
BECAUSE IT WILL SEND ME TO PARADICE ALL THE SOONER 
BECAUSE I NOW HAVE ENOUGH SLAVES TO WORK FOR ME 
WHERE EVERYONE ELSE HAS NOTHING WHEN THEY REACH PARADICE 
SO THEY ARE AFRAID OF DEATH 
I AM NOT AFRAID BECAUSE I KNOW THAT MY NEW LIFE IS
LIFE WILL BE AN EASY ONE IN PARADICE DEATH

 

The members of the team that cracked the code are:

* Sam Blake (Australia)
* Jarl Van Eycke (Belgium)
* David Oranchak (USA)

 

This video is my attempt to tell the story of this long overdue breakthrough.

We dedicate these efforts to the victims of the Zodiac Killer, their families and descendants. 

We hope that one day justice will prevail.

Da, oricum era prea tarziu, cel putin au "spart" acel mesaj. 

Desi nu pare tocmai SF, algoritmul nu era chiar foarte complicat, a fost extrem de complicat din cauza ca existau miliarde de posibilitati. 

Dar e frumos sa vezi un exercitiu de criptanaliza practic si real.
