Hi everyone,

I'm having some trouble decrypting this message. I have tried to apply the different attacks for the encryption so that through the coincidence index I can find out what the exact configuration of the machine is. After trying several times, the optimal configuration that I have obtained is B:145:ZFN:CBO|ACBOFJGKLRMVPWQXSZUY where the repeated letters is S. However, the systems tells me that I am not right. Could you please help me out a little bit with this message.

Kindest regards,

Will
