- StavrosK 14y agoWhat, you mean that performing arbitrary permutations and transpositions on a ciphertext until it produces garbage that vaguely resembles actual words in various disjoint places isn't actually cracking the code?!

- quinndupont 14y agoDepending on just how silly the method is, any method can count as legitimate cryptanalysis. And, given the huge combinatoric space of natural language, the odds of just hitting upon the correct cryptanalysis are unfathomable.
