Official Broken Decryptor Discussion

Official discussion thread for Broken Decryptor. Please do not post any spoilers or big hints.

Very nice challenge. Took me a bit of time to realize that I was doing things right just was missing one extra step to recover everything.

Very good challenge.

Will the decrypt function never work?

My result: a really “broken decryptor”.

Fun challenge. Thx r4j! Forces you to understand MODE_CTR…(not a spoiler)

hi could someone give me a hint in DM?

Cant seem to break this, the randomness after each encryption makes it seem impossible to crack

Are you sure it is totally random?

Just solved the challenge, but it requires a long time and lots of requests to get flag. Is that normal, or that is intended?

I cannot yet discover how to get hid of the otp… Is it necessary to try to discover a prediction on the random bytes sequence?

@mysteriousP Read carefully the otp… generation and understand all steps of the generation. Fukurou and indirect maple3142 gives already very good hints.

Wohay! Finally i got it…
But, i wanted to discuss the method, because i think i made it in a naive way…
I’m thinking: if i could use some concurrency i should get better result?
