Editing Cryptography Tricks

Here are some cryptography tricks that i've learned with some important people and that helped made this page. They helped a lot with the Keys and Seeds page construction. Use them wisely :)

= AES-CTR tricks =

* Recovery of partial plaintext with two ciphertexts encrypted with same key and iv by knowing where zeroes (\x00) are located

= AES-CBC tricks =

* The iv of a CBC operation is always the previous 0x10 block, UNLESS it's the starting operation. in this case it is specified by the end-user

= AES-ECB tricks =

* If the attacker knows where 16 bytes of zeroes are located in known plaintext/ciphertext location, he can use
AES-ECB with the guessed key on that location. if there is a match of the previous 16 bytes as result, the attacker automatically knows the guessed key is the correct key
