Playfair Cipher CLI Utility

This is a very simple classic Playfair Cipher command-line utility, written in C.

It is combined with a bash script that parses a user-provided word dictionary which can be used to brute-force crack a playfair-encoded message by guessing passphrases while grepping the plaintext output for likely words.
