GCHQ are hiring. Have you got what it takes? http://www.canyoucrackit.co.uk/

Aha!
Breaks out the program I wrote to do exactly this...
(Stupid that it's an image and not copyable text though)

What Cypher do you think they're using Oli?

It's been out for a few days, many people have already transcribed it.

If one is diving so close to the limits that +/- 1% will make a difference then the error has already been made.

No idea, just wrote a code breaking thing a while back and thought I'd run this through it

Was thinking about this last night.
Too much on atm to try it, maybe this weekend will have a go.
I think it'll be a straight forward XOR cypher and the anser will be the password used to encrypt the plaintext.
The problem is not knowing how long the password is etc...
Will have a go and see what happens.
I've done XOR decryption before but I was given the length of the password to make it easier.

OK, so I've rewritten and improved my decryption program.
I can now XOR the whole text quite easily.
Just need to write an algorithm to run through different password possibilities and do some frequency checking etc...
