Hey, I’ve been messing around with an old 19th‑century cipher and turning it into a generative art piece. I think it could be a good playground for your pattern‑seeking brain—what do you say, wanna dissect the code?
Sure, show me the ciphertext and the algorithm you used. I’ll start by cataloguing the frequency patterns and any repeating sequences. Then we can see if there are hidden dates or names tucked inside.
Sure, here’s a chunk I just encoded with a Vigenère cipher using the key “ARTISAN”.
Ciphertext: “Moxh kqg dsvqv, bqj zcxfzq vjg kfzzv, vqv rpgz vjku gkz.”
The algorithm:
1. Write the key over the plaintext repeatedly.
2. For each letter, shift it forward by the alphabetical position of the key letter (A=0, B=1…).
3. Wrap around the alphabet if you go past Z.
Give it a quick frequency scan and let me know what you spot.
