If they torture you, they never intended to let you go alive.
Don't get caught alive, it's not going to end well. If escape is not possible, you're most likely better off dying on your own terms.
https://xkcd.com/538/ reposts tend to neglect mentioning that part.
It's not cute nor is it clever.

If you're truly wanting to learn #cryptanalysis using pencil and paper look at this book Elementary Cryptanalysis by Sinkov (https://archive.org/details/elementarycrypta0000sink) . Some of these problems can be hard to solve but will teach a way of thinking.

It was around that time, when breaking things (in terms of #CryptAnalysis, #PenTesting and #hacking in general) was considered an interesting field of work, whereas defending systems and designing and engineering things securely from the ground up seemed not attractive to many people.

Continuing on our code breaking theme...
Prior to electronic encryption, people and/or governments who wished to keep their messages secret might have used a one-time pad.
Given that a certain set of conditions regarding it's use were fulfilled, this #Cipher technique was guaranteed to be unbreakable.

The Weiskopf Bigram Cipher. 1918? Author claims his system is unsolvable even if the method of encipherment is known when there is no knowledge of the key.
"When the bureau closed in 1929, there were only six employees; three cryptanalysts - Yardley, Ruth Willson and Victor Weiskopf - and three clerks."
