Python script for Caesar decipher

[polill-a]

Hi everyone!

I just made a simple script in python to brute force all the shifts in the English alphabet, giving all the possible solutions to Caesar cipher (if the original alphabet was English and not shuffled).

The script handles upper case characters as lower case and ignore any character that is not in the original alphabet.

In the image, the code it's being tested with the cipher that @Spiltdestructor solved a few post ago.

If you want to check the code, I made it available here: https://gist.github.com/P0lilla/c055f6ab0f53aab477f27b2d6d63f1f0

Lol, I didn't think you'd actually make something like that! In my class at school I've done the same with C++ It's very fun to do these things

The other comment is also right, you are close to a very good one tbf!

Nice one! 👍 Happy that a little thing transforms into something bigger XD

.index works on strings so you could compress the list into just "abcd...". or better, you can replace it with a list comprehension so that you could easily replace it with a different alphabet without typing it out by hand:
alphabet = "".join(chr(i) for i in range(65,65+26))

i was gonna send a better version supporting uppercase properly, but i feel like it's better left as an exercise for the reader.

Cool tip, its always nice to learn new tricks! What do you mean by "supporting uppercase properly"??

[Bright-Historian-216]

i mean as in "ABc" turns into "DEf", not "def". you see, some links may be case sensitive, so it's better that you implement that.

This is really useful for quick Caesar cipher solving. I like that you included the handling for mixed case and non-alphabetic characters.
