Oh, come on. Like it takes more than 5 seconds to figure that out.

Besides, you've made a couple errors. You can replace the whole perl command with 'rot13'. And if you don't have 'rot13', you don't need the 'while <>'. It's just a waste. Try:

perl -ne 'tr/a-zA-Z/n-za-mN-ZA-M/; print'

That saves you 11 characters.

The advantage of my Python script, is that it takes the parameter N (from rotN) as an argument. It allowed me to bruteforce and find the N you are using. And it's not affected by your "512 gny" trick :)

the old zipcrypto is flawed. But some zip programs support AES encryption now. (winzip, beta 7zip)

The AES encryption is flawed too. http://eprint.iacr.org/2004/078

Winzip is far from being a decent tool to protect sensitive data...

"Illusion of security" indeed. The zip password protection is a joke. Programs to get past it are easily available on the net. Just like programs to "find your lost AIM password."

have you tried any of them ?

Except it isn't ROT-5, it's ROT-21.

(Maybe if you're going backwards instead of forwards, though... ;p)
