I usually decipher it by my own, I don't have any program to do that for me but certainly there're some deciphers for free.
This tool, this frequency table , and a frequency counter may help on the process.
Usually I seek for some keywords on the text, like 'the', 'password', 'that', 'of', 'if', 'is'. Using this tips we can infer the following:
GSV - THEIt seems to agree with the frequency table, since E (V) is the most frequent letter, followed by T (G), then we have O (L) and M (N) that both have high frequencies too...
GSZG - THAT
WLM'G - DON'T
KZHHDLIW - PASSWORD
It's pretty easy =)
On the end you'll have the plaintext as follows:
The password that you need is the name that
belongs to the man that says the following sentence:
"Treat your password like your toothbrush.
Don't let anybody else use it, and get a new
one every six months."
