No. Let's try another way. Get *any* piece of text (not too short and not too long, let's say what fits in one page when printed on A4 paper). Just copy and paste it in Notepad and save it as mytest.txt. Open mytest.txt in a Hxd. You will see a "pattern" (let's call it a "skyline" for simplicity ) where You will have a few "skyscrapers" (possibly corresponding to 0x20, 0x61, 0x65 and 0x74). Now compare visually that skyline against the one you get from your file. What is the impression you get of these differences? Aren't in mytest.txt all the "buildings" one next another with no or few "gaps" between them? Aren't in mytest.txt all the buildings on the left side of the screen? Which kind of algorithm do you think you may apply to mytest.txt to transform it's "skyline" view in such a way that is more similar to your crypted file? jaclaz
