Kosaki (2015-07-15)
Vigenere cipher.
Kosaki implements the Vigenere cipher. Use uppercase keys to encrypt:
perl kosaki.pl KEY plaintext.txt > ciphertext.txt
Use lowercase keys to decrypt:
perl kosaki.pl key ciphertext.txt > plaintext.txt
Mixed case is OK, just use opposite case for decryption:
perl kosaki.pl KeY plaintext.txt | perl kosaki.pl kEy > same.txt
Note that non-alpha characters are passed from input to output as is,
which may leave hints about what the original encrypted text was.
Marika will remove unrelated characters for you:
perl kosaki.pl marika kosaki.pl | perl - input.txt > stripped.txt
Lost your key? Chitoge will break the key for you:
perl kosaki.pl chitoge kosaki.pl | perl - ciphertext.txt > keys.txt
Chitoge will output an uppercase and a lowercase key, both are
equivalent. Depending on whether encryption was done with uppercase
or lowercase keys, one of the output will be more recognizable than
the other. Chitoge doesn't always succeed, certain criteria about the
input must be met:
- Original text is English.
- Key length is at most 64 characters.
- Ciphertext is at least ~100 times longer than encryption key length.
