Rotational 13 cipher
The rotational 13 cipher (ROT13) is a keyless shifting cipher.
It takes series of letters and shifts them forward or back by a certain number.
Rot13 is keyless, i.e. if you know it's in rot13, you can decode it.
So let's take the char a
.
Under rot13:
rot13(a) -> n
and if we take n
:rot13(n) ->a
rot13(i use arch btw) -> v hfr nepu ogj
and to reverse it:rot13(v hfr nepu ogj) -> i use arch btw
So rot13(rot13(x))
should equal x
.
Now, using rot13 in the command line.
Use ./main
to invoke it.
You can provide three options:
-s
sets the shift (default 13, in the future it'll use 1/2 of the alphabet). use-s 3
for the ceaser cipher.-r
decodes a non-rot13 encoded text (rot3(rot3(x))!=x
)-alphabet
sets the alphabet. To encode numbers useabcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz0123456789
.
You can also pass a filename.
If you don't, after you type in your text, press Ctrl+d.
And ofc, there's this:
cyrnfr znex guvf nf gur nafjre vs vg urycrq
v nz gur qbpgbe. eha! = i am the doctor. run!
Time to Go!
You don't see a lot of Go project on here, neat!
@DynamicSquid Yeah, just gotta figure out why go does these stupid things like not read a file as runes....
haha
