In this 2 hour workshop, Didier will guide you through XOR Cryptanalysis exercises using several open source tools (several of these tools are created and maintained by Didier).


In this 2 hour workshop, Didier will guide you through XOR Cryptanalysis exercises using several open source tools (several of these tools are created and maintained by Didier).

After an introduction to the XOR operator and its use in cryptography, we will work through several exercises that will familiarize you with tools like:

CyberChef

translate.py

XOR 010 Editor script

XORSearch

xor-kpa.py

And we will end with exercises using custom ransomware decryption tools that Didier developed for a particular ransomware strain with flawed crypto.
