erbrown2 a0d74d3ab8 This lab was really really cool, I won't lie! The strategy I used was I compared the plaintext message and the ciphertext message character by character. I noticed the differences repeated in a pattern showing the secret word which was python. The I used the polycipher class with the secret word to decrypt the encrypted message! This was really sick!! I want to do more of this!
