The AtBash cipher basically reverses the alphabet, so that an 'a' is a 'z', and 'b' is a 'y'.
The Atbash Cipher |
Theory
This Atbash cipher is basically a reverse of the alphabet:
Plain: abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz Cipher: ZYXWVUTSRQPONMLKJIHGFEDCBA
The following is an example:
Message: this is some text Type: atbash Likely methods: {('affine',): 'rfgqYgqYqmkcYrcvr'} Encoding: 'gsrh rh hlnv gvcg' Hex: 6773726820726820686c6e762067766367
and in reverse:
Message: gsrh rh hlnv gvcg Type: atbash Likely methods: {('affine',): 'eqpfYpfYfjltYetae'} Decode: 'this is some text' Hex: 7468697320697320736f6d652074657874
