So, that testing out the different decryption software is the brute-force I'm talking about. Even within decryption software, you would need to try out a large number of possible keys to be able to decrypt the ciphertext

Meanwhile I just checked the headless chicken running around claiming that Symmetric Encryption is one way encryption. Mofo plastered his phone number allover Nairaland hunting down 50k programmer training job. Apologies to all other folks in Ibadan (born there and got my blood stripes at Alomaja), but there's a reason he lives in IB. Probably Akobo, General gas or Challenge.

And I am saying your assumption that the provided plaintext file is the same exact file as the encrypted file is flawed. So let's say I provide you the plaintext and the encrypted version. Let's also assume you know the encryption algo used. Are you going to arrive at the key magically? Or aren't you going to try all the keys in the key set? Wouldn't that be a brute force?

15 years in a field is a lot of time and would make you an expert, but I struggle to understand how knowledge of the plaintext, encrypted file, and perhaps inferred knowledge about the algo would enable you pinpoint the key without trying out all (or a huge subset) of possible keys?

Okay. Let everyone (myself included) remain and excel with their limited knowledge

A brute force attack on a 256-bit key AES algorithm is taking 9.63×10^52 years to brute force. That is billions of years! And this is for a simpler Symmetric Key encryption running on a super computer o. Not consumer grade developer laptop with 8-16gb RAM and heavily limited processor. We haven't thought to discuss brute forcing a Public Key algorithm that is inherently more difficult.

Okay so here's the low down on security (and any problem generally); given infinite time and infinite resources ANY problem can be solved. But you never have infinite time or resources. You are planning to brute force an encryption algorithm that you don't know anything about, and you want to do that on consumer grade hardware, starting with a known file that you aren't sure exactly matches the encrypted file. Too many damned variables and unknowns. Yes if you were a Government agency with bleeding edge computing you may stand a chance. Even the Feds in the US with formidable resources still have to go to Apple or WhatsApp when they want to brute force their way. And you want to attempt something similar without knowing the algorithm. I wish you luck.

And I pray the OP is able to start his project afresh and finish it in good time. I'm off to back up my Udemy downloads to Google Drive before I hear say dem shoot bird, bird mama fly

airsaylongcome:
Lol! Just say you want to show off. Person dey write final year project you dey ask for ₦1m. If he had a million he won't have gone to funny places on the net. He would have bought whatever he needed.

Plus with this your modus operandi, you go tey before you go brute force the encryption algorithm. Too damned many unscientific assumptions

Hello everyone, I want to get a four thread weaving machine today but I'm confused of which product to get.

Pls I need advice asap.

So after nearly a month of licking your wounds due to the apparent uppercut that slammed you into oblivion,you finally found a pair of 'mini balls' only to ask a fatuous and half-witted question?
I guess your nugatory cerebrum just went back to its default state of puerility and inanity!
Too bad!

openmine:
You finally got the 'lunacy' spelling right...Good boy
...at least there is still some hope left in that coconut-like cerebrum that you carry around!
Now keep learning more!
Hope you know the meaning of Brilliant?

sounds like a teen just learning how to use vocabularies
I no blame you sha...na aunty corona way make you dey use phone way no be your own!
...Please junior go and give that phone back to daddy jare!
....and go play with your toy !
This ain't no place for a puerile!

If your desolate and malfunctioning encephalon could not even decipher my earlier reasons for deleting the needless back and forth between us,then i'm afraid that your abhorrent state of reasoning is beyond redemption!

NB:
Its lunacy not luncay

When you initially made a vacuous question,i knew your folly would fully be revealed,hence i intentionally ignored you!
I guess you didn't get the message explicitly that your idiocy stinks and your recent can of absurdities confirms my reasons for not engaging you!
I believe my message wasn't made clearer or you are still wallowing in your apparent lunacy!

For the umpteenth time,this thread is not for a needless back and forth simply because its neither helping us nor the OP who needs the needed assistance....
A nice and emotional thread like this should not be distorted by a poignant tale of a an obvious pillock who doesn't even comprehend his own comments!


Low IQ?
well if you understood even an ounce of what an IQ meant,you would be the one addressing yourself with that tag!
You could not even decipher a simplified and explicit thread...i even had to break it down in pidgin for you to finally discern!

openmine:
Thats because we are making a mess of this lovely thread due to your enlarged ego to admit your obvious error!
This thread is actually meant to inspire others and give them hope based on OP's experience!
Not this back and forth that adds nothing to this thread....maybe its fun to you but not me!
Lets respect the importance of this thread!
I have nothing more to say!

Smh!
Guy just waka abeg you have nothing better to say![/s]

openmine:
What is this one even saying?
Clarifying or confusing yourself even more?
Guy if you have nothing better or inspiring to add to this thread,just park well and go look for another thread to rant or look for something productive to engage yourself!
smh!

openmine:
You are just trying to overflog this simplified and straighforward issue or maybe trying to save face!
You have admitted your error in judgement!
What's the point in replying?
I don't know which new information you are referring to but every thing I have stated in my comments are totally directed at you!
If you need more clarity or more simplicity to aid your understanding,please let me know!

openmine:
Guy you are going too far!
Its simple English terms which is not too difficult for you to comprehend!
You have indirectly established the fact about him wanting the pregnancy!
The disappointment tag that you coined into your narrative about shola was just merely an imagination on your part!

The choice of death or life of the unborn child by an unmarried lady was the decision for shola to make and not the OP!

If shola decided to keep the pregnancy, then maybe she had other motives that were still not clear to the Op because she was insistent on terminating the pregnancy based on the words of Op!

And besides,the money the OP gave to shola was to ensure she did a safer abortion at a better clinic rather than meet a quack that might end her life!

If the OP had a choice,he would have kept the child!

Finally,whether the unborn child was killed or not,OP would gave still gone back to shola!
That's because he still loved her despite what she did to him!

openmine:
The OP wanted the the baby
Shola insisted on the abortion after OP appealed to her to keep the baby...
Hence she has no right to be disappointed according to your insinuation!

My point is....you were trying to lay the blame on the OP as if he was the one who was pushing for an abortion from the outset while the lady was the one insisting on keeping it! Hence,you ALLEGED that she was DISAPPOINTED with him! Why? How?

How would she be disappointed when she was the one who kept insisting on terminating the pregnancy?

The only way he could have made her keep the baby was by convincing her to do so which he did but to no avail...so why blame him?

This is why I said your allegations or insinuation are not true!
