Valdis Kletnieks to Gadi: > Who wants to bet that it's snake-oil crypto?
If you bang in a long string of "A" chars and use a string of "A" chars as the key, then try using the same length string of "B" chars (or "a" chars or "H" chars or "-" chars, etc, etc) results in a "decoded" string of all the same chars (different ones for each key string, but a decoded string of all the same chars and of the right length). Now, I'm no cryptographer, but I think that's a very unlikely result for a strong crypto algo -- the wrong key should produce "random junk" no matter what the original input clear text, no? In case it matters, I used 400 chars input string and 30 chars key -- the max encodor allows for both.
