It's an excellent, historically true story about the life and MANY important achievements of Elizabeth Smith Friedman, who broke codes and defeated enemy spies in World War I and World War II. It's an engaging listen and a fascinating window into the early cryptographic world.
It's also yet another of those bits of history that was almost lost because, sigh, it was about a woman. And because Hoover and the FBI took credit for some critical things she her husband did at the Coast Guard. It's really heartening to see these stories being brought out. The research work that is apparent in the telling is really awesome.

My 1st YouTube. As it turned out, the 340 cipher had a longer solution back 2 years ago. Mine was the 1st legit solution. Yes it is possible for a cipher to have 2 solutions, just don't ask me how. This one contains more Zodiac info.

Because 'e' is the most common letter (in old as in modern French), it is what #codeBreakers would be looking for first.
And the fake symbols were simply put in to sow more confusion.
While most symbols represented letters or combinations of letters, others represented whole words - like a needle for English King Henry VIII.

1320 followers · 10210 posts · Server mastodon.sdf.orgI'm excited to read Al Sweigart's _Cracking Codes With Python_. After a friend wrote me a #Python script to convert binary to integers (w/ my own tweaks for characters) to speed my solving of #geocache #ciphers, I'm eager to use Python for Affine, Vigenere, Nihilist ciphers and codes.
