On a hiking trip, you find a piece of paper on the desk of an abandoned cabin:
Also on this desk is an old-fashioned computer that is, unfortunately, password-protected. You are sure that if you can solve the riddle left behind on the piece of paper, you'll be able to get into the computer...
Happy riddling! (Hints will come soon if nobody can solve this...)
Hints:
Hint 1:
You might want to try replacing "Leon Battista Alberti" with "Johannes Trithemius..."
Hint 2:
You could also replace Leon Battista Alberti with Giovan Battista Bellaso.
Hint 3:
The owner of the cabin made one careless mistake: the last three lines are in the order that they were used by him to create the message...
Hint 4: (this is a big hint!)
Look at the Wikipedia page that includes all the names from Hint 1, Hint 2, and the last line of the note.
