The Competitor Revealed

Briefing:

We’ve intercepted some encrypted text from one of the gang members, which we think might include the name of the competitor company that they intend to target.

We know it uses a letter Substitution Cipher and luckily we have some Frequency Analysis counts. At CPA we have our very own tool for helping agents to break this kind of encryption. Use it to try and work out what the text says.

Tip: The flag is the name of the competitor company.

Hint:

Keep trying different letters until you have a word that makes sense. A common approach with Frequency Analysis is to try two and three letter words first - they are likely to be words such as: is, and, the, are. Once you have those and some letters unravelled, things might start to become clearer.

How to Solve:

Enter the following letters in to decipher the text:
1. T H E O S A I C N G W B R M D U
The deciphered text is “THE TARGET IS ASBOR WHO HAS THE BEST WOOD CUTTING MACHINES”

Answer

ASBOR
