WeChall - Training: Crypto - Transposition I

Description:

Crypto - Transposition I

It seems that the simple substitution ciphers are too easy for you.
From my own experience I can tell that transposition ciphers are more difficult to attack.
However, in this training challenge you should have not much problems to reveal the plaintext.

Solution:
  1. Here is a tool called "Transposition Cipher Solver".
    Reference:  http://tholman.com/other/transposition/

  2. It's very easy for you to guess the first word in the cipher text is "Wonderful."
    oWdnreuf.l -> Wonderful.

  3. So,  what we need to do next is to guess the length of the proposed key.
    Two Is Enough! :)

  4. Here is what we have done.


  5. Below is the results.
    0 1
    o W
    d n
    r e
    u f
    . l
    Y
    u o
    c

    o n
    : w
    a
    p n
    h m
    d r
    o b
    r g
    . s

  6. Now, read the letters from 1->0->1->0->1->0->...
    W->o->n->d->e->r->f->u->l->. ...

  7. The original plaintext is :

    Wonderful. You can read the message way better when the letters are in correct order.
    I think you would like to see your password now: anpmhrdbogrs.
