Some help for Simon Singh's $15,000 cipher challenge:

  • For information on the book, here is /.'s link to Amazon.
  • Typed in cipher text
    Stage 1
    Stage 2
  • Scanned in cipher text
    Stages 3-10
    These were scanned in using OCR, they are bound to contain some mistakes. I have not checked them yet. If you correct any stage, please send it back to me and I will post here. Like a moron, I typed in Stage 1 by hand ...even if I have to visually correct the scanned in text, it sure makes things easier.
  • A quick java tool I wrote on the BART. It helps a little with monoalphabetic substitution ciphers. It's not exactly the interface I want but I was rushed, and it's very crude, but if you are a java programmer it might be of use to you. Here is the applet version.
  • The little perl script I wrote for stage 2.
  • If you wish to join a disussion list for the cipher challenge, send email to minordomo@danger-island.com with a subject of subscribe cipher.
