Is Theodore Kaczynski an Aspie? what about Zodiac killer?

Aw heck, **I**'ve done THAT! And it was a rotating cipher, so letter frequency analysis or cracking a given word would have been little to no help. It wasn't hard to setup/cipher/decipher, but it WOULD be very hard to crack. Using multiple passes, foreign languages, reversals, etc... Would make it practically impossible. BTW it wasn't really an interest for me. Any IDIOT knows that the 2 biggest failings of ciphers are letter frequency and progressive cracking. Prevent those, and an easy cipher could be frustrating to crack to say the least!

I DID try(For perhaps a day or so) to break a VERY old cipher done by someone that wasn't known for doing such things. I didn't crack it. Oh well, perhaps millions have tried for over a hundred years, and I never heard of it being cracked. Well, one page was partially cracked(in the mid 70s) that had promise, but it didn't help.

I ALSO studied ciphers for some ecommerce work I did. I wanted to make a near unbreakable cipher. Even the FBI may have trouble with THAT. Then again, it IS a multipass rotating butchered hashed key with 192 bit rjindael. EVEN if they DID manage to crack one record, which is unlikely, it would be little help in breaking others!

AGAIN, this isn't an interest for me!

The old TV program "Unsolved Mysteries" theorised that the Zodiac and the Unabomber were the same person. But an expert said its unlikely a person that kills eye to eye would change to kill remotely.

Can we really say that we know much about the Zodiac killer? He was never caught.


Though some people say Charles Manson may have been him (but then, they say a lot of people could have been him)

I seem nuts and people say I want people to notice me. In a strange way I do, but I dont tell people. He did from the brief reading I have done.

Zodiac was aswell. He fits the character of being an outcast of society who was unhappy being different
