Somewhat old news, I think the only cipher of Zodiacs that has not been cracked is the link to his actual name.

Worth noting that hard/impossible to crack doesn't automatically mean a cipher is good. One can easily scramble letters in ways that makes it literally impossible to decipher, but that defeats the whole point.
