#72196 - 2002-12-10 04:24 PM How to encrypt a binary file
wandan wandan Getting the hang of it Registered: 2000-10-05 Posts: 50	Hello. I would like to write a kix script to encrypt (xor) a binary file. But how can I read an write a binary file? The readline and writline dosn´t work.. Any Idea? Regards Danny

Lonkero Lonkero KiX Master Guru Registered: 2001-06-05 Posts: 22346 Loc: OK	there is no way. kix has no binary handling inbuild. anyway, kixcrypt already has this, why you would like to code a script for this? _________________________ ! download KiXnet

wandan wandan Getting the hang of it Registered: 2000-10-05 Posts: 50	Hello. I need to encrypt a binary file. And with any additional software want to rebuild it on another computer. I thought about doint it with kix. But VBScript also would work. Any idea, how to handel it in VB? Regards Danny

Lonkero Lonkero KiX Master Guru Registered: 2001-06-05 Posts: 22346 Loc: OK	you would call encrypt api. for that you should check: http://msdn.microsoft.com _________________________ ! download KiXnet

Lonkero Lonkero KiX Master Guru Registered: 2001-06-05 Posts: 22346 Loc: OK	heh. also, forgot that he wants to do it himself... so, that wouldn't work anyway. sorry wandan, if you want to crypt XOR by yourself, I think that is what you need to do. _________________________ ! download KiXnet

wandan wandan Getting the hang of it Registered: 2000-10-05 Posts: 50	Hi. Thanks for your answers. The only thing I need, is a way to binary read a file. Kix can´t do this.. Vbscript can ? Regards Danny

Sealeopard Sealeopard KiX Master Registered: 2001-04-25 Posts: 11165 Loc: Boston, MA, USA	Don't know. Who needs VBScript if there's KiXtart? BTW, what's so important about a binary file that it needs to be encrypted, too? _________________________ There are two types of vessels, submarines and targets.

Lonkero Lonkero KiX Master Guru Registered: 2001-06-05 Posts: 22346 Loc: OK	it actually looks like he has somekind of assignment from a teacher. who else would ask how to read binary file? if it's someone who has made the file, he would already know that. _________________________ ! download KiXnet

Presumably you will also unencrypt it with KiXtart, which as it is easy to read and understand will render your encryption pretty useless. You can write a simple XOR encryptor in C in a couple of lines. Or less. Why are you encrypting the file and how do you intend to use it?

wandan wandan Getting the hang of it Registered: 2000-10-05 Posts: 50	Hello. The need for it is following: I need to send a binary file trough a SMTP Gateway with mail sweeper. He scans the header of the file... And i only have kixscript and vb on both sides of the gateway. Therefor i can´t use another tools. I need to transform the binary into a mayby text file, and then send it trough the gateway. On the other side I have to "decrypt" it. I only have standard windows 2000 tools and kix. Regards Danny

Richard H. Richard H. Administrator Registered: 2000-01-24 Posts: 4946 Loc: Leatherhead, Surrey, UK	Oh dear. You probably want to post this request on a BB that doesn't have a high proportion of system administrators as this one does then.

Sealeopard Sealeopard KiX Master Registered: 2001-04-25 Posts: 11165 Loc: Boston, MA, USA	In that case we might want to contact your systems Administrator and inform him of your potentially malicious intent to compromise a secured network. Unless, of course, you can give us a plausible reason why you try to send this encrypted file and what it contains. [ 11.

Les Les KiX Master Registered: 2001-06-11 Posts: 12734 Loc: fortfrances.on.ca	I've read through this post a few times and came to a different conclusion. I think Dan wants to encrypt the file in order to get it past an email filter. KiX is able, with the help of FSO, to read binary. A search on this board should turn up some examples. On the other hand, I think there are a lot of freeware CODEC programs that could be used. Try to Google. _________________________ Give a man a fish and he will be back for more.

Sealeopard Sealeopard KiX Master Registered: 2001-04-25 Posts: 11165 Loc: Boston, MA, USA	That is how I understand it, too. However, why defeat the filter? _________________________ There are two types of vessels, submarines and targets.
