way faster again, so that total.py is actually usable. specify plaintext, ciphertext & ciphertext 2 paths like:

python total.py plaintext.txt ciphertext.txt to-decode.txt

and it will do its thing.

hill_tools.py has no interface.

anal.py takes 3 paramaters: the first is the plaintext of the plaintext/ciphertext (p/c) pair, the second is the ciphertext of the p/c pair, and the third is the suspected key length. for greater control, anal.py's global variable MKEY_LENGTH can be manually edited to return a greater or smaller number of possible keys.

enc.py is for quick encoding & key creation; the first argument is the thing to encode, second is the key to use, third is where to save enciphered text, and fourth is where to save dec.py compatible key. the key must be supplied in a text file as a string of numbers seperated by spaces. enc.py will also check to make sure that your key can be used to decipher and warn you if it cannot.

dec.py is made for quick decoding: the first paramater is the path to the ciphertext, and the second paramater is the path to the key (cPickle'd numpy array format- what anal.py produces).

total.py is the automated decoder; it tries all possible keys of all possible lengths given the restrictions of the p/c pair length. The first paramater is plaintext, second is ciphertext of p/c pair, and the third paramater is the cipher text you wish to decode.
