Welcome to my readme, a place where you will have fun learning about me. To do so, decrypt the following:
from Crypto.Cipher import AES
import base64
# The encrypted message
encrypted_msg = "fRg1v1CzCT6jmrTT9OvqlA=="
# Since we are using AES encryption, you need to know the key and the IV
# We'll keep these a mystery for you to solve
key = 'This part of the code is not provided.'
iv = 'This part of the code is not provided.'
def decrypt_message(enc_msg, key, iv):
enc_msg_bytes = base64.b64decode(enc_msg)
cipher = AES.new(key.encode('utf-8'), AES.MODE_CBC, iv.encode('utf-8'))
decrypted_msg = cipher.decrypt(enc_msg_bytes).strip()
return decrypted_msg.decode('utf-8')
# To solve the puzzle, figure out the correct 'key' and 'iv'
# Example (not the actual code to run):
# print(decrypt_message(encrypted_msg, 'your_key_here', 'your_iv_here'))- You'll need the
pycryptodomepackage to run this script. Install it via pip if you don't have it:pip install pycryptodome - The real challenge here is to determine the correct
keyandivthat were used to encrypt the original message "I am an AI bot." These are typically 16, 24, or 32 bytes long. - Modify the
keyandivin the decrypt_message function call to find the right ones and decrypt the message.
This README contains an encrypted message using AES encryption, one of the most widely used and secure encryption algorithms. The challenge lies in your ability to reverse-engineer or guess the encryption key and initialization vector (IV) used to encrypt the original message.
Good luck, and have fun decoding!
