How do you rocket to a high post on the Worst Nodes listing? I think Steeeeeve has the answer. You post something that doesn't parse, make huge claims about its functionality that can't be substantiated, and hint that you are going to patent it. One of the very few things that could make this any worse were if it looked like a posted homework assignment.

"Solving a CipherText message is not trivial. To date it has not been done."
Perhaps no "CipherTextTM" message has been cracked, if only because nobody felt motivated to do so, but this CipherTextI program uses very rudimentary XOR encryption which is virtually trivial to crack, as evidenced by the recent effort to examine the ActiveState Perl compiler and rescue some source code. This makes it only slightly more difficult than cracking, say, ROT-13.

Sorry, Steeeeeve, but arrogance and ignorance are not desirable traits in this particular community.

Title:
Use:  <p> text here (a paragraph) </p>
and:  <code> code here </code>
to format your post; it's "PerlMonks-approved HTML":



  • Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
  • Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
    <code> <a> <b> <big> <blockquote> <br /> <dd> <dl> <dt> <em> <font> <h1> <h2> <h3> <h4> <h5> <h6> <hr /> <i> <li> <nbsp> <ol> <p> <small> <strike> <strong> <sub> <sup> <table> <td> <th> <tr> <tt> <u> <ul>
  • Snippets of code should be wrapped in <code> tags not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should generally be avoided. If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).
  • Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
