Incorrect. I broke the first encryption technique using english language letter frequency.
Now break the code for a JPG image or for a MP3 XOR-encoded.

The only way to break encryption, by definition, is by obtaining the key or method of encryption. How to "obtain" the key can greatly vary either by brute force, trial and error, or cutting somebody's toes off, I duno.
Im probly incredibly stupidly wrong but what the hey

come on people, why do I have to repeat myself. Most encryption techniques fail to produce completely random results. The decrypter can take advantage of that.
An XOR encryption? As in, swap every 1 to a 0 or 0 to a 1? ........
Peace cannot be obtained without war. Why? If there is already peace, it is unnecessary for war. If there is no peace, there is already war."

agamamnus: you XOR the file against a "random appearing" data-stream...a data-strean that can be reproduced when needed. Then, irregardless of the contents of the source file, the encrypted file will appear random. This is very different from swapping all 10 and 01.

If the file you're xoring with is not random, you cannot expect the encrypted file to be random as well. If you can generate it, it isn't random. If it is completely random, you need to keep secret a really large file that is the same size as the file needed to encrypt it, which makes it useless.

Oh...my mistake...encryption doesn't work. Thanks for the scoop. :roll:

it does work, but only layered encryption+password is 100% secure, like AES.

Someone XOR encrypt a JPEG and send it to aga, and aga can post the picture up here to prove it.

Ok aga, decrypt this and i'll change my mind about you being a stupid kid with a big mouth. It's xor encryption.

Here you have it in hex, it thought i'd make it a little simpler for you.
