Decode Ciphertext



Description:

For ciphertext carrying ASCII with variable width where spacing has been lost/removed e.g. "72 101 108 108 111 32 87 111 114 108 100 33" to "72101108108111328711111410810033". For octal, hex and decimal the original payload can be uniquely recovered. However, binary is heavily degenerate and can have many possible solutions. As such 4 options of scrubbing through it are presented. The range of chars which are considered valid can also be changed which can cut help cut down on false positives. For more control check "Spaceless n-bit binary".
