No, I am not dreaming.
Most cryptanalysis algorithms for cryptography based on the Caesar cipher
(2000 years old) to the AFDGX (or even the ENIGMA, TYPEX etc...) have long
ago been coded into Pascal, C, etc...
If one were to take these algorithms and put them into a cryptographic
analysis toolkit -- it could greatly reduce the effort required in breaking
cryptographic problems.
