Alright different type of cipher.

Code:

Code: Select all

00000010 00001010 00000000 00000111 00000100 01001110 00110100 00100110 00111110


Key:
RoadandJD

Hint: Use a XOR operation

Hmmm... Is this a reference to a certain game of ours?

hmmm i dont know

Got it!
The answer should be: Peace Plz

Yep! I don't want peace anymore because the game is ending in hours.

How did you do it? please post your steps, I want to know

Me too

Here is how to do it:
First thing I realised is that the hint wasn't coloured properly And I accidentally read it before I could stop myself.
So it said, use an XOR operation. And I checked the binary to see where I could use a XOR operation. If you put the binary in an ASCII converter, it simply output some random meaningless stuff, so that couldn't be the solution. And since the Key and the binary would have outputted 9 characters, I got the feeling that the XOR operation would be done with the binary of RoadandJD. So I converted 'RoadandJD' to binary, used the XOR operation, and put the resulting binary code into the ASCII converter back into letters, and sure enough, the answer was Peace Plz

Sometimes I get lucky
I also do some basic competitive programming in C++ so I know about codes, cryptography, binary, operations, ASCII, etc. so I was quite....prepared for this I think...
