I saw it was 16 chars so I assumed 128 bit encryption. After that, with the hint in mind, looking up a few possible passwords for that did not take long. I've looked at the code and I think cracking this password with another method would take significantly longer time than this. A brute force approach other than a dictionary one would not be possible in a reasonable timeframe. I don't see how you could solve this even if you know the algorithm without the key.

Keep them coming, great fun :)

tlr, congratulations for taking such interesting and definitely not trivial challenges! First the statistical solver and now this AES decrypter. Deep respect!

I think most guessed it.
Ymgve googled for the first values of the S-Box at $c000, which was quite clever.

Added full source code.

Nice work! Thanks for posting the answer, since I was going mad trying to crack it. How did others manage to work it out? Or were they all guesses/tipped off by recognizing the algorithm?
Now I'll have to set to work on the conversion of Twofish so that 64 users will have another choice available in strong encryption. :)

Password: "RIJNDAEL"

The program is encrypted using AES-128 running in Electronic Code Book mode.
As you may know AES-128 is a subset of Rijndael.

Solved by:
1. Mantiz
2. Ymgve
3. MagerValp
4. Unseen

Apparently the hint was too obvious for some.
Maybe I'll make a harder one. :)

Magervalp and Unseen has cracked it too now.

I've gotten two correct answers so far.
Mantiz was first. :)

It's interesting to hear the explanations on how the pw was found, keep them coming! :)

I found the password :)

Let's just say it's a bonus. :)
It does what most file coders on the c64 does, i.e decrypts, and then does RUN on the result.
Trying to check the key for validity often results in weakening the encryption and therefore should be avoided.

hehe, nice way to say that the pw is wrong :)

That means you've got the wrong pw... :)

I challenge you to crack the code! ;)

PM me first when you find it so I can announce the winner. :)

CSDb (Commodore 64 Scene Database) is a website which goal is to gather as much information and material about the scene around the commodore 64 computer - the worlds most popular home computer throughout time. Here you can find almost anything which was ever made for the commodore 64, and more is being added every day. As this website is scene related, you can mostly find demos, music and graphics made by the people who made the scene (the sceners), but you can also find a lot of the old classic games here.
