Hi all,
I have a doubt regarding a problem.
First, I am required to read a given file.
The output from the file is given below:
b'$//W?\xc0\x829\xa2\xb9\x13\x8c\xd5{\'
I used the type() to identify the class and its a byte class.
I saw many \x and thought it might be hex.
So, I used binascii.hexlify() and got the following output:
b'242f2f573fc08239a2b9138cd57b'
Now, this output is being encrypted and I need to perform an XOR operation on it in order to retrieve a secret message.
But, I'm not sure how to code the XOR operation. How do I code that?
Thank you.
PS: I'm not sure if I have done any mistake along the way. That's why I have mentioned all the steps that I've done. Let me know if I have done any step wrongly. :)
