Obscurity

Im strugling with user. I have found a py scrypt that does some encryption and decryption. I have added a crack function to the script, but the key I get is only in the extended ascii table and looks very wrong to me. Can someone help me and maybe take a look at my crack function?

edit: A hit from Enpassant helped me out.
edit2: Got user and root. User was the hardest part for me, but I learned something about ascii and encoding :slight_smile:
