Level 3: Read the Secret Message

You are now ready to decrypt Agent Ocean's secret message!

Here is the information you have been briefed with for this mission:
The pseudo-random secret hex value is: 380f72e348e8330bc0bf02542c469e327da096ad7bcae4fd
The ciphertext secret message that Agent Ocean has sent you is:
746a06c43bc85464e0cc763b5c66ea5a1880d5ff3a88b7dc

Complete the following steps in order to decrypt Agent Ocean's secret message.

  1. Open up the XOR Playground in a new tab.
  2. Input your pseudo-random secret hex value into the box on the left labelled Input 1 in hex.
  3. Input Agent Ocean's secret message into the box on the right labelled Input 2 in hex.
  4. You should see the decrypted message appear in plaintext in the bottom box!
  5. If you think something is wrong, check to make sure that you inputted the values into the Input in Hex boxes and NOT into the Input in plain boxes.

What is Agent Ocean's secret message for you?
