File Protector/Encryptor

Yeah.  Bruting 8 bites is a pretty insignificant task.

Do you mean bits or bytes? It's hard to tell :P

See my post.

The question still wasn't answered.

Ok, i made a simple exe in qbasic that contains a single word. Then, i encrypted the program with my program. So, lets see some bruting! If you crack it and get the answer.exe to work, just reply with the word in the program. Heres a url to downlad the answer.exe and the encryptor:

Oh, if only zorm visited these forums.

hmm, well even if u dont crack it, could u at least respond sayin u tried?

Sorry it took me so long.  The word is "Deliquesce".  The encryption key was "102", and the speed was "2". 

I can't believe how slllooooow your program is.  I write an implementation in C that encrypts your 16kb file, at speed 1, in milliseconds. :-P

Sidoh, thanks man! Much better than my old integral division encoding.

EDIT -
Heres my code. By no means secure, due to having the key right in it, but you go right ahead and do what you think is best with it. =)

Code Select Expand

Option Explicit

Public Function Decode(S As String) As String
    Dim Ret As String, Key As Byte, Char As Byte, I As Byte
    Key = Asc(Mid(S, 1, 1))
    For I = 2 To Len(S)
        Char = Asc(Mid(S, I, 1))
        Char = Char Xor Key
        Ret = Ret & Chr(Char)
    Next I
    Decode = Ret
End Function

Public Function Encode(S As String) As String
    Dim Ret As String, Key As Byte, Char As Byte, I As Byte
    Randomize: Key = Int(Rnd * &HFF) + 1
    Ret = Chr(Key)
    For I = 1 To Len(S)
        Char = Asc(Mid(S, I, 1))
        Char = Char Xor Key
        Ret = Ret & Chr(Char)
    Next I
    Encode = Ret
End Function

Well, are you going to admit that I rock or what? :P
