The key in my example is small but is the same length as the message, and as there is no clear text to find just passwords like "Wcbhj41d" therefore I think I can assume it would be very hard to crack. I think the x-ray method breaks down in my example also. But I will keep this in mind if I were to use the same approach on longer messages or messages with good clear text to find. I wonder if there are any website where you can enter your url (or test url) and offer a reward for a successful hack with explanation. I would happily offer mine running test data. > -- > int main() { char *a,*s,*q; printf(s=3D"int main() { char *a,*s,*q; > printf(s=3D%s%s%s, q=3D%s%s%s%s,s,q,q,a=3D%s%s%s%s,q,q,q,a,a,q); }", > q=3D"\"",s,q,q,a=3D"\\",q,q,q,a,a,q); } > -- Has anyone asked about your signature block?
