  CIPHER TYPE:     VITERBI
  SECURITY LEVEL:  7/7

  STATUS:          [ACTIVE — AWAITING DECRYPTION]


  MISSION BRIEFING
  ----------------
Decode a 48-bit message encoded with a rate-1/2 convolutional code. Use the Viterbi algorithm to find the maximum-likelihood path.

  INTERCEPTED DATA
  ----------------





> encoded:
  101111000100010010111101000111110000100100001000001110101111011101111001011111001000100111100000



> generators:
  [7, 5]



> constraint:
  3



> hint:
  Use the Viterbi algorithm: trace through the trellis, find the min-cost path, convert bits to ASCII



> answer format:
  lowercase letters, no spaces or punctuation
