Quick Intro
I recently just finished Kevin Mitnick's Ghost in the Wires. Excellent read! I highly recommend! The cryptic text got my attention and I decided I wanted to give a crack at them. Let's see how far I can get before I give up.

I wrote a simple Caesar cipher C program, called rotn that I can pipe in some text.

Did you see the decrypted text? These should be fun. Let's see how long it will take for me to crack the next chapter. 8)
Oh, and yes I will publish the code for my Caesar cipher program for those curious. Just give me some time, I've been fighting to not open a github account, but I think that's a decent option as of now.
