How do I use python to Xor cipher-text1 XOR cipher-text2 = "3c0d094c1f523808000d09" and "746865" to get this "48656c"? Thanks
It is based on this https://crypto.stackexchange.com/questions/59/taking-advantage-of-one-time-pad-key-reuse
You can use the ^
bitwise exclusive or operator on each byte:
>>> a = bytes.fromhex('3c0d094c1f523808000d09')
>>> b = bytes.fromhex('746865')
>>> bytes(x ^ y for x, y in zip(a, b)).hex()
'48656c'
