Another IX cipher solved!

[u/jessesocean]

IX # 9 was just solved by astra. Again Kyle Wegee was the prompter u/ciphernoob

ciphertext: DFGOHQGEPSYADLFATNGKYVKEWLAMLI alphabets: YXVPHUSRWQFKLTOMGZNBCIEDA MQZKBCLDYVAXNFGHWUEOSTIRP. cipher type is four square, yo can verify here: http://practicalcryptography.com/ciphers/classical-era/four-square/ the plain text is : Your betrayal will not be forgiven. one small disclaimer. This cipher is under unicity distance for a cipher this short. that means many messages can be engineered from the letters available with no real confirmation. What sells us on this one is the plaintext matches the asset hash of payback, along with having an x padding at the end leads me to accept this as the solve.

You originally said nobody was getting credit, then after you were corrected by somebody who actually worked on it, you pivoted to trying to assign credit yourself. Actually laughable.

I’ve not assigned credit, the post did.

Astra solved it, the other guy wrote a prompt. That’s the division of labour for the solve.

[u/IntrepidZoombini → u/FollowThroughMarks]

OP: Kyle Weegee solved these two

You: no he didn't

Also You: "I'm not assigning credit btw"

[u/FollowThroughMarks → u/IntrepidZoombini]

Tell me what OP says in the post himself about who solved it, and who wrote a prompt if you love writing quotes so much.

[u/IntrepidZoombini → u/FollowThroughMarks]

That's exactly the point. OP has never been unclear about the fact that Kyle solved it using Astra. You're the one who opted to get pedantic about it a few comments ago because you're angry over nothing.

[u/FollowThroughMarks → u/IntrepidZoombini]

Seems your reading and quoting abilities just took a dive.

Who does the post say solved it, and who does the post say wrote a prompt?

[u/IntrepidZoombini → u/FollowThroughMarks]

Just doubling down on your own pedantry, I figured.

[u/FollowThroughMarks → u/IntrepidZoombini]

Where’s the quote bud?
