to transpose character strings based on a numeric argument?
I've been playing around with writing a mass attack at decrypting this thing, using a-z as the initial character string, then swapping 'a' with 'b', etc. But I'm stuck trying to come up with a decent algorythm to do the swap.
I realize that the number of combinations is hideous, (26!), but I can't think of a better way.
I figure if I can do it this way, I can have it scan the results against the dictionary, then let it process overnight. (or a week, depending.)
At least, my current understanding is that the "$[]{}<>\=@~&#-+/*:.,%^ге()" string is the english alphabet, but it doesn't come out when substituted straight with a-z. (or even z-a) |
