How do you rocket to a high post on the
Worst Nodes listing?
I think
Steeeeeve has the answer. You post something that
doesn't parse, make huge claims about its functionality
that can't be substantiated, and hint that you are going
to patent it. One of the very few things that could make
this any worse were if it looked like a posted homework
assignment.
"Solving a CipherText message is not trivial. To date it has not been done."
Perhaps no "CipherText
TM" message has been
cracked, if only because nobody felt motivated to do so,
but this CipherTextI program uses very rudimentary XOR
encryption which is virtually trivial to crack, as
evidenced by the recent effort to examine the
ActiveState
Perl compiler and rescue some source code. This makes it
only slightly more difficult than cracking, say, ROT-13.
Sorry,
Steeeeeve, but arrogance and ignorance are not
desirable traits in this particular community.
