Two Locks, One Message
Two Locks, One Message
- Author: Sagnik
This is a cryptography-based CTF using two layers of encryption: a Caesar cipher and XOR.
From clue.txt, we determine the Caesar shift is 3 and the XOR key is 42 (0x2A).
A simple google search gives you the second lock key. :D
Since the message was encrypted twice, we reverse the operations during decryption.
The encrypted data is:
1
6c687c514c1e425c1e5f754b1a5f75184b57
First, undo the XOR layer using key 2A:
1
FBV{f4hv4u_a0u_2a}
Then undo the Caesar shift by shifting the letters back by 3:
1
CYS{c4es4r_x0r_2x}
Flag
CYS{c4es4r_x0r_2x}
