Caesar Hacker

.. tags:: tiny, beginner, cryptography, math


This program can hack messages encrypted with the Caesar cipher from Project 6,
even if you don’t know the key. There are only 26 possible keys for the Caesar
cipher, so a computer can easily try all possible decryptions and display the
results to the user. In cryptography, we call this technique a brute-force
attack.
