Cryptanalysis – Breaking Repeating Multi-Byte XOR Key Ciphertexts

In today’s post, we’re going to solve an interesting Cryptography challenge. In the challenge, we’re given the following Ciphertext, and our task is to crack it in order to recover the Plaintext and Key. The point is simple, cracking the given Ciphertext and the key, knowing that the cipher was encrypted using a repeating multi-byte… Read More Cryptanalysis – Breaking Repeating Multi-Byte XOR Key Ciphertexts
