• Added human checker and spinner pause handle (#374)

Now when Ciphey finds plaintext, by default, it will ask you if the plaintext is actually the plaintext. The best plaintext checker is humans, after all!

This opens up a wide variety of new checkers. Right now we are building specific checkers (JSON, English, Regex).

So we had high accuracy, but low generality. We could only spot these specific things.

By introducing the Human Check, we can now build lower accuracy but higher generality checks. Things like:

• Entropy (to find order in text)
• Chi Squared (technically g-test) to match freq distributions with an expected distribution.

By combining these two approaches and using the Human Checker, Ciphey should be able to present to the human the plaintext most of the time without missing it.
