So after watching the movie "The Imitation Game", which is an awesome movie by the way, I'm kind of curious, and I'd like to teach my kids some stuff about the old days, and mankind's first attempts at computers and using computing machines to crack encrypted messages.
So, on that note, is there some kinda cool port for FreeBSD that can be used to try and decipher a coded text message? Or maybe it lets us select encryption method, enter the key and plain text, and then lets us take the cipher text and run it through again, obviously with the encryption method and key not used. A port that allowed the output to run in 'slow mode' (if needed) so that the kids can see the program/machine 'thinking' or 'working' would be cool.
