Reach out to me at Mastodon. If viewers need to reach me via email, here's a riddle:
- What number becomes smaller when you turn it upside down?
Hint: Single digit number.
The answer is the caesar cipher key to decrypt the following hex code:
\x7c\x6b\x81\x7f\x6e\x7b\x7c\x72\x78\x77\x3b\x49\x70\x76\x6a\x72\x75\x37\x6c\x78\x76
Deciphering routine can be done with the following python script.. Who doesn't love python. ;)
#!/usr/bin/env python3
import sys
import binascii
encryptedHex = r"\x7c\x6b\x81\x7f\x6e\x7b\x7c\x72\x78\x77\x3b\x49\x70\x76\x6a\x72\x75\x37\x6c\x78\x76"
def decryptHexFunc(a, b):
decode = ""
for i in a:
i = int(i, 16)
ccKey = i - b
decode += "\\x"
decode += "%02x" % ccKey
decodeList = decode[2:].split("\\x")
return binascii.unhexlify(''.join(decodeList)).decode("utf-8",errors="ignore")
def main():
while True:
a = encryptedHex[2:].split("\\x")
b = input("Enter Key: ")
print(decryptHexFunc(a, int(b)))
if __name__ == '__main__':
main()
Thank you for playing.
