Oh look h00t trying to make it look like he is not an entry level code monkey. Keep it up owl-dicker

laffed at being considered "entry level" when I have been doing this for 2 decades

oya this kid with 3 masters degrees working on his phd dissertation has the same job as me. Another is a part time professor at the university. cant make this shit up ppl

I think it's great that even someone with your obvious disadvantages is still able to find a job. Show 'em you're a tiger, Tiger.

I'm with you up until you convert the keys for hat and quit back to hex. I don't understand what you mean by applying substitution at that step, or where the strings:

73746179

6c6f76

Are coming from. At the end result, it appears you've re-encrypted the message to decrypt as the desired output after changing those 2 words. But does that help decrypt the original message somehow if you don't know it already?

I dont know if you realize this but this is an everquest forum and nobody gives a shit

[Bardalicious]

Shut up moran.

Not that I'm mad-butthurt or anything but what are your credentials rellapse? what do you do? what are you accomplished in? how did you get there?

The people want to know. It's curiosity namean?

RC4 is weak as shit and is going away anyway.

6c6f76 = lov

73746179 = stay

if yuoure like "wow thats so easy", then it is. its just a simple xor stream cipher. its garbage.


theres all kinds of attacks on it. I think the hardest to brute force is about a week. WEP keys (wifi) use it, and can be cracked in seconds.
