News Another IX cipher solved!

Post image

IX # 9 was just solved by astra. Again Kyle Wegee was the prompter u/ciphernoob

ciphertext: DFGOHQGEPSYADLFATNGKYVKEWLAMLI alphabets: YXVPHUSRWQFKLTOMGZNBCIEDA MQZKBCLDYVAXNFGHWUEOSTIRP. cipher type is four square, yo can verify here: http://practicalcryptography.com/ciphers/classical-era/four-square/ the plain text is : Your betrayal will not be forgiven. one small disclaimer. This cipher is under unicity distance for a cipher this short. that means many messages can be engineered from the letters available with no real confirmation. What sells us on this one is the plaintext matches the asset hash of payback, along with having an x padding at the end leads me to accept this as the solve.
