takedown requester: hey, take X,Y,Z down.
takedown requestee: X never existed, Y hasn't existed in years, and Z has nothing to do with you.
takedown requester: I SAID TAKE IT DOWN.

I've gone up to most of step two a while ago, but haven't had time lately either.

sinlge byte XOR and repeating key OR

XOR is just as bruteforceable as caesar, sergio

telling someone it's impossibru just seems misinformed. /endrant

file headers, footers, sigs, exif, strings, etc. there will be a pattern in the cleartext, and a well made oracle can find it if it's there. i made a crappy oracle as an undergrad. imagine what the guys in the big leagues have
cremefraiche
Apr 11, 2016 09:29
i don't see the practical case of someone encrypting random binary data. if we are talking practical crypto, there will be patterns in the plaintext that can be analyzed
cremefraiche
Apr 11, 2016 09:27
OP says he is talking about caesar and XOR
cremefraiche
Apr 11, 2016 09:26
I guess he doesn't actually specify what the file is

I don't get how a n00b like me can do some crypto challenges and bruteforce classic crypto, but dude saying it's impossibru is going down as the definitive word in that thread

i don't think OP has even considered e(k1,e(k2,plaintext)), I was working on the assumption of e(k1,palintext).

that is wrong

A: How to know if a file is decrypted or not

cremefraicheYou absolutely can tell with varying degrees of certainty if a file, or even string, was successfully decrypted. Most of the challenges at cryptopals depend on it. I have begun to make a tool for ciphertext bruteforce and analysis that automates this very task. You can find it here if you want to...

Apr 11, 2016 09:10
literally tells OP that what he is trying to do is impossible when it most certainly is possible, because even a neophyte like me can do it
