XOR Brute Force

Enumerate all possible XOR solutions. Current maximum key length is 2 due to browser performance. Optionally enter a string that you expect to find in the plaintext to filter results (crib). XOR Brute Force lives in the Arithmetic category of the fx menu.

Parameters

Parameter	Type	Required	Default	Description
Input	string	yes	—	Value to transform. Previous step output or a literal.
Key length	number	no	1	Numeric value. Default 1.
Sample length	number	no	100	Numeric value. Default 100.
Sample offset	number	no	0	Numeric value. Default 0.
Scheme	string	no	Standard	Choose one of: Standard, Input differential, Output differential.
Null preserving	boolean	no	false	Disabled by default.
Print key	boolean	no	true	Enabled by default.
Output as hex	boolean	no	false	Disabled by default.
Crib (known plaintext string)	string	no	—	Argument value for this operation.

Input is the primary value (previous step output or a literal).

Returned value

Type	Description
string	Result of the XOR Brute Force transformation.

Limitations

• This operation treats Input as raw bytes (binary-capable). Non-text payloads may display differently after decoding.
• Output can be large because many candidates or algorithms are enumerated.

Example

Run XOR Brute Force

Enumerate all possible XOR solutions. Adjust optional parameters when the defaults do not match your payload.

1. Set Input to the value to transform (previous step output or a literal).

2. Review Key length, Sample length, Sample offset, Scheme, Null preserving, and other options and keep defaults unless your format requires otherwise.

3. Confirm Output value shows the transformed result.
