After 51 years the Zodiac cyper has been cracked!

[deleted]

The video is very convincing and I surely hope this thing has finally been solved. For years I figured it was an unsolvable cypher because the Zodiac was pissed his first cypher was solved by some amateurs so he fashioned the 340 with gibberish. Wasn't it just a couple of years ago the History channel had a special where they claimed to solve the 340? That "solution" is way different than this one.

I saw that - it was so built up when I read the translation I felt incredibly let down. It's just the ramblings of a psycho, not a hint as to who he is or how to find him.

Who misspelled “paradise”? OP or Zodiac?

This decoding will doubtlessly trigger dozens of boring, rehashed Zodiac documentaries.

This was fascinating....

I remember watching The History channel a few years ago when they claimed to have solved it and I thought "How could this not be solved"

I remember thinking "as Many People who have tried to solve this thing, Literally The absolute BEST Mind in The field of code Breaking, If it hasnt been solved, It Probably means It cant be solved, That It was a smoke screen and The Zodiac just made it to fuck with the police"


In the end though Based on the Video.....It kinda was Unsolvable, The Zodiac Made several Mistakes that made it basically impossible to solve regularly, The computer programs found patterns but even the computer programs couldnt solve it completely because Of Mistakes The Zodiac made with the Cypher...


I would LOVE for The Zodiac to be caught/finally revealed....

Serial Killer cases fascinates me, I love watching anything of Serial Killers being Caught or The Hunt for them....

It sucks knowing The Zodiac is probably never going to be Known and The exact details of his crimes and The case will never be solved....

I remember When BTK was caught and The Green River Killer....I wish The Zodiac could finally be solved too


PS, I'm currently watching this movie...Its one of my all time favorites, I watch it once every couple years.....Immediately after reading about The new that The 340 cypher was solved a few days ago, it instantly put me in the mood to watch This film again.....LOVE IT

Oranchak, a 46-year-old software developer in Virginia, said the 340 is what’s known as a transposition cipher. Most ciphers used today by computers rely on mathematics to scramble messages. Transposition ciphers, by contrast, are largely relics from the past that use rules to rearrange the characters or groups of characters in the message.

Transposition ciphers rearrange messages in a wide variety of ways. A common way is by rearranging columns of a message. The message in the 340 was probably rearranged by manipulating triangular sections cut from messages written into rectangles. Oranchak and his colleagues developed an app that helped him and his colleagues unravel the puzzle.
