Hi, could you explain the process of how can i decrypt those password that has been encrypted? And if possible could you explain your process of solving it?What method have you use

(0x73636f7270696f6e) and

(01110011 01100101 01100011 01110101 01110010

  01100101 01101100 01111001)

 

To make things easier to understand there is the original question:“Our analysts have obtained password dumps storing hacker passwords. After obtaining a few plaintext passwords, it appears that they are all simply encoded using different number bases.” If you do know some ways to find the “password” hidden behind this, then please could you show me?

Expert Solution
Step 1 Explaination

Dear Student,

To decrypt such password we need to convert these strings into strings of base 10.

Here 0x73636f7270696f6e is a hexadecimal password  as it starts with 0x and thus has a base of 16.

And 

01110011 01100101 01100011 01110101 01110010 01100101 01101100 01111001

is binary ie base 2.

To find the password we need to convert them into decimal.
