Thread: decryption : reversing

yeah this is kind of based on C++ but i thought maybe the people ive helped before could help me with this plz? thx.

I am reversing an encryption from a site that uses java.
this is the code:

H!8(#i9\;S@HC-
!668);$j&On,5[
2$k]ZK^4 t*D<>z6I!BL9>M,U@3<A1"-S&1>Q,m")9"L)<&-UG0X,h$i+a
5S:S;Rr%
5_k#-\:Y.Q{/4[DKAJ-f=BCK?J7L.W
UGH:7(/S"_,Ws(!ct%-b,f#+BFBR*c*b

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------


and this is the (java) encryption :


------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

String DeCrypto(String eText)
{
char ff = ' ';
String dText = new String();
char hold[] = new char[eText.length() / 2];
for(int i = 0; i < eText.length() / 2; i++)
{
char c1 = eText.charAt(2 * i);
char c2 = eText.charAt(2 * i + 1);
char k;
if(c1 > c2)
k = (char)((c1 - c2) + ff);
else
k = (char)((c2 + c1) - ff);
hold[i] = k;
}
dText = new String(hold);
return dText;
}

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------


i know you can reverse this with C/C++/etc.... but im just plain stuck. coulkd someone please reverse this? thank you in advance

>come on prelude, i know YOU can do this
Ack, busted

>you are the best programmer here
Definitely not, Salem is better for sure, and quite a few others.

Code:

#include <iostream>
#include <fstream>
#include <string>
using namespace std;

string DeCrypto(string eText) 
{ 
  char ff = ' ', c1, c2, k; 
  string dText; 
  char hold[BUFSIZ] = {0}; 
  for(int i = 0; i < eText.length() / 2; i++) { 
    c1 = eText[2 * i]; 
    c2 = eText[2 * i + 1]; 
    if(c1 > c2) 
      k = (char)((c1 - c2) + ff); 
    else 
      k = (char)((c2 + c1) - ff); 
    hold[i] = k; 
  } 
  dText = hold; 
  return dText; 
}

int main ( void )
{
  fstream in("test.txt");
  string a, b;
  while ( in.good() ) {
    getline ( in, a );
    b = DeCrypto ( a );
    cout<< b <<"\n";
  }
  return 0;
}

You might want to verify the decrypted data, it looks odd. The algorithm is the same so it may be buggy.

thanks.
but omg look at this lol:

C:\MSDEV\Projects\pqzm\main.cpp(1) : fatal error C1083: Cannot open include file: 'iostream': Permission denied

C:\MSDEV\Projects\pqzm\main.cpp(2) : fatal error C1083: Cannot open include file: 'fstream': Permission denied

C:\MSDEV\Projects\pqzm\main.cpp(3) : fatal error C1083: Cannot open include file: 'string': Permission denied


WTF?

This post above is the reason why Java sucks IMHO*although C++ and Java are closely related*

>C:\MSDEV\Projects\pqzm\main.cpp(1) : fatal error C1083:
>Cannot open include file: 'iostream': Permission denied
This is an odd one. I don't remember ever seeing a permission denied error on a standard header before. I'll see if I can find something because the code runs fine for me and should work for you as well.

>This post above is the reason why Java sucks IMHO
That reason would be?

-Prelude

hmm... just maybe you should check the access rights for yoru library... i'd figure it wouldn't matter since only read operations are performed, but you never know what the compiler might need or do... also, if you've found the code for this reversible process from a public place, chances are that you can find it's inverse as well... if you have trouble with Prelude's suggestion...
