lol thor ;p

Max, can you give a little more information as to the source of this? Are
you able to give us more samples? (preferably, dummy () example comm,
dummy () example co, and test).

If it's using a one time pad, you've got no chance lol, but sometimes these
things just use realllllly heavily obfuscated lookup/convert tables, which
can be reversed most of the time.

 Actually it is a valid Base64 string – it just decodes to 24, 106, 27,

dummy () example com you would have to XOR that resulting binary string with
124, 31, 118, 46, 31, 172, 108, 174, 217, 80, 5, 44, 124, 142, 129, 99, 117
which I don’t see any pattern in (close to that anyway, I did it in my head
so I’m sure I screwed up some of them).  Maybe someone sees something…   Of
course, Cal could have done it, which means it’s probably Matrix for
“titties.”  :-p



The input and output are both 17 bytes, so an XOR makes sense, but another
17 character example would help.  And a 20.

Hi Full-Disclosure,

I'm trying to figure out what kind of cipher was used in this:

GGobQ2bsqd64PXVAmaDiDBg=

Looks like Base64, but it's not. The original string is:

dummy () example com

Thanks all!

wbr,
