This cipher is pretty simple. Basically, you would write all of the
letters in a grid, then rotate the grid 90° and read the characters back
out. I first heard of this method when Mike
posted to the Kryptos Group mailing list.
I liked the method and decided to write up a neat little encoder. It was
used to decode K3. I can insert the first half for you, then you just
copy the decoded text back into the text area above and change the column
width to 8 in order to see the secret message.
Spaces are rotated with the letters, enters (newlines) are not.
Extra 'X' letters will be added if the number of columns does not divide
evenly into the text length.
This is your encoded or decoded text:
Server Status: Upgrade went relatively well, but I had issues with the IP & DNS changes. Would you like to know
more?
For all of you experiencing a 502 error when downloading files to your phone, could you
send me a detailed report (phone model, provider, exact error message, type of file you are sending)? I believe that the problem is due to my recent IP change and that it will clear up in a couple days, but I'd rather start collecting information a little earlier in case I need it.
