I'm amazed at your patience in constantly refuting obviously stupid anagram-based "decryption" methods where the "key size" (permutation) that the person puts into the message is as big (in terms of information theory) as the message they are getting out. In other words, they themselves have supplied essentially all the information they are claiming to get out.

David, I need you to know that all of the work you've done to educate your audience about cyphers and how they are solved is paying off. I excitedly looked up the new information uncovered, and something deep in my subconscious noticed something 'off' about how they interacted with the cyphers. The more I read, the more I remembered about your videos and why anagrams didn't really prove anything. At that time, I pulled up your twitter to see if you had weighed in on the subject, and read your contribution to the San Francisco Chronicle. This video confirms it for me; you've helped so many people not get caught up in this very misleading investigation. You've taken a complex knowledge from your profession, and made it accessible and understandable to so many people who would otherwise have no idea. You should be very proud of what you have accomplished. You took some demented, self-serving puzzles from a psychopath, and used it to teach us about cryptography. And you did it well.

Great video, really informative. What refuted this suspect for me was the Paul Stine composite sketch. I'm almost certain that prior to this groups claim, the marks on the forehead were never referred to as scars. They were just added in for detail, to indicate the Zodiacs age, later altered into the amended sketch after he was believed to be closer to 40. The amended sketch doesn't have the same lines on the forehead at all. If the witnesses saw forehead scars it would be a key detail yet only this group mentions it as such. They find out about Poste and have to make assumptions, because it fits their suspect. Big red flag to me.

Thanks Nils! The small anagrams just came from a Google search. To make the big anagram, I took the Unabomber manifesto corpus and just tried to find the best fitting substring that uses the most letters from the available pool of letters (extracted from the Zodiac correspondence). With the leftover letters, I ran the algorithm again to find another chunk of text that would fit. I still had some leftover letters but I think there was enough there to make the point. I hope to play around with an anagram feature of CrypTool 2 some day!

Couldn't this be easily checked against the "my name is" cypher? (16:09) "Gary F. Poste" consists of 10 unique characters (3 short - Gary Francis Poste would be too long), but the cypher has the A twice, M twice, N twice and the circle three times. So no matter how you arrange them, even if you count spaces and the period as a character, which would bring the count up to 13, there's no possible way it could match. Or am I missing something?

The key to a cypher can be longer than the encoded message. The my name is cypher is likely not a reveal, but rather another puzzle. I think it was created in response to critics at the time claiming he was an amateur that didn't really understand cyphers. If there is any take away from the post card, it's that you don't have to break a cypher if you are the intended recipient. You would just use the key. I believe the keys for solving all the puzzles are hidden in the letters and cryptograms he sent out. If he ever really included his name it's probably in one of the keys.

The inuksuk may historically have been used for navigation, as a point of reference, a marker for travel routes, fishing places, camps, hunting grounds, places of veneration, drift fences used in hunting, or to mark a food cache. The Iñupiat in northern Alaska used inuksuit to assist in the herding of caribou into contained areas for slaughter.

The evidence is circumstantial (which isn't necessarily a deal breaker). But the nonsense about anagrams cannot be counted as evidence. However, I do wonder why the police would be relunctant to test his DNA. They can use PCR for DNA testing if they are worried about destroying the source. The coordinates to her body are somewhat intriguing - but we have learned through all of the decrypted messages so far that Zodiac did not talk in broken English. His writing was very straightforward and grammatical despite the (likely intentional) misspellings. So "Collect telephone trunk call, who? Gary Francis Poste." does not seem like something the Zodiac would write. But "let it snow, let it snow, let it snow" does...so it's inconclusive at best.

David, please forgive my slightly off topic comment - to go back to your marvelous solution of the cipher. Two thoughts ...1. Why wasn't it solved earlier? As complex as it was, is it not true to say it was ultimately a brute-force solving of a relatively straightforward cipher method? With enough computing power at the authorities' disposal, why did it take you guys on your laptop computers to crack it? ....2. Is it possible that this was indeed solved years ago, but since it didn't reveal any particularly important information they (FBI? NSA? etc) decided it might be better to sit on it, hoping the original Zodiac might be tempted to get back in touch to taunt them about his genius, unsolvable cipher and unwittingly provide possible new clues to his identity? Just a thought.
@doranchak3 жыл бұрын
It took so long to solve because of how unusual it ended up being. If it was a "normal" transposition cipher, it would have probably been solved long ago. But it had 3 sections, a shifted line, and 6 characters that interrupted the transposition in the 2nd section. Those factors made it practically impossible to solve without branching out from the usual kinds of cryptanalysis. For those same reasons, I think the answer to your 2nd question is probably that nobody was sitting on a solve all this time.

@@doranchak @David Oranchak this! Sure, many people/fbi etc. Tried to solve it, but there is a point you begin questioning yourself, if you rather spend your time on a maybe unsolveable riddle and "mythos" of a killer or try to solve 100 recent crimes or problems.. Ngl I am fascinated by the ciphers and the history of it, but in the end i am even more fascinated by the work and methods of the solving process of the people which get believable results with the case and ciphers. Personally, I always thought the zodiac symbol and its geometry may give clues or messages in the ciphers, but gave up after some attempts..

Yes! I was waiting for your comment. ❤️ Edit: So far this “big reveal” looks more like a viral fundraising campaign based on very flimsy assertions that simply doesn’t hold water. But I will give them the benefit of the doubt and await more solid information, if they have any that is.

r.h. on the desk. robert hansen. "birds fly south" he had his own plane and was caught when one of the women he abducted escaped as he was bundling her into it. he liked to hunt his victims. paradise area of LA right next to the airport. donna lass and jeanette kamehele missing from zodiac territory and two unidentified bodies found in alaska. jewellery in alaska looks dated. being a hunter he surely had a big freezer so dates of events could be skewed by years. i think it was organised crime as there is camp richardson at lake tahoe and also richardson bay in alaska. uk map bench marks symbol used in zodiac cipher.

Z32 = SEAT .2791 YO 92011 EWSI The ciphering is very easy ! But deciphering is hard because of multiple possibilities. Need your computers for investigate possibilities I've missed doing the job only with pen and paper.
