lantern 0.0.0

Cryptanalysis library for breaking classical ciphers

lantern is a cryptanalysis library to assist with the identification and breaking of classical ciphers. The library provides general purpose analysis tools, as well as premade modules to break well known ciphers.

from lantern.modules import caesar
from lantern import fitness

ciphertext = "iodj{EuxwhIrufhLvEhvwIrufh}"

decryptions = caesar.crack(ciphertext, fitness.english.quadgrams)
print(decryptions[0])

In short, lantern can be used to:

• Identify ciphers from ciphertext

• Automatically crack well known ciphers

• Analyze ciphertext to assist in the breaking of custom crypto systems
