Righto.
And now: how to XOR "Bd1 Ka5 b4" with "0905423b00470d42" (8 letters vs 8 hex bytes :whistling)

Part #3 is just for confirmation.

Re: Cryptomania
 

oh so that would be you then :tongue:

And i dont use XOR :( so.. hmm

Re: Cryptomania
 

Nah. I'm not a badass - I'm a regular bloke :)

Re: Cryptomania
 

one byte for each letter

B 09 d 05 1 42 K 3b a 00 5 47 b 0d 4 42

And no clue ;(

Converting the hex to decimal makes 9 5 66 59 0 71 10 66

Re: Cryptomania
 

Well, before XORing 'B' with 09, we must convert the character 'B' to a number ;)
Same goes for the other pairs...

Re: Cryptomania
 

2 09 4 05 1 42 11 32 1 00 5 47 2 04 4 42

Re: Cryptomania
 

Is that a question? Then :no:

Final hint: try ASCII

Re: Cryptomania
 

then i got no clue :tongue: I'll come back later to this and see if anyone makes progress.

Re: Cryptomania
 

... got no clue ...
Erm... lesson 1 in Nord crypto seminar:
:hmmmthumb
ASC("B") = 66
66 XOR 9 = 75
Voilà :)

I'll need some time to follow link's steps and your comments, but I'd like to say something first:

Hel spoiled one half of my "maybe too difficult for me to prepare" cryptogram... and now you've spoiled the second half!! :cry3:
