Hello everyone, First, I wanted to thank everyone in advance for your help and any feedback is appreciated. Here is what I am trying to accomplish:
I have this encrypted data that was sent across the network. The decryption is a simple XOR with a 16 byte key. I started writing a basic Python script that would decrypt the traffic by XORing each byte with the XOR key. I was wondering if there was someway in Python to indicate that the string is a string of HEX values similar to Perl's pack. For example: Encrypted string in hex "313B372C2E2C63362E2128" Four byte key XOR key "41424344" Is there any way to tell Python that the encrypted string and XOR key is HEX? This way I can XOR each byte without having to either place a \x between every two characters. I realize I need to convert everything to an integer first. I have done this numerous times, but I wanted to throw it out there as I know there must be a easier way. I am using Python 2.5.2 Thank you, Mike
