Solves challenge 1A by brute forcing an xor with one character on all characters in the cyphertext. A scoring function sorts the results by readability (number of characters and spaces), so that the plain text candidate with the highest score is printed last.
Solves challenge 1B by shifting each character of the cyphertext by a certain length via brute force. The plain text candidates are again sorted by their score and the right candidate shows up in the top 15 candidates. It still contains some special characters though, which may be the result of an imperfect decyphering.
