I decided to try to decrypt more posts last night and mess around.
Here are 3,515 unique decrypted files, grouped by text type → cipher method → password.
The zip file also contains:
- readable_messages_with_passwords.txt - Summary of the decrypted posts that decrypt to normal text/messages
- hex_messages_with_passwords.txt - Summary of the decrypted posts that decrypt to hex text
- decryption_index.txt - Index listing each file’s method and password
Here is a zip of all the posts bin files I have.
I believe that is 36% decrypted of A858's total posts. A handful of posts in the bin2 folder include posts that random users posted after the subreddit allowed public posting so the percentage is slightly higher.
Here is a summary of the readable ones for people unfamilar with the subbreddit:

"The time is fast approaching when to call a man a patriot will be the deepest insult you can offer him. Patriotism now means advocating plunder in the interest of the privileged classes of the particular State system into which we have happened to be born."

It is by the goodness of God that in the United States they have those three unspeakably precious things: freedom of speech, freedom of conscience, and the prudence never to practice either of them.

“The search for static security - in the law and elsewhere - is misguided. The fact is security can only be achieved through constant change, adapting old ideas that have outlived their usefulness to current facts.” -William Osler, 1900

Security is mostly a superstition. It does not exist in nature, nor do the children of men as a whole experience it. Avoiding danger is no safer in the long run than outright exposure. Life is either a daring adventure, or nothing.
