xorer

A simple CLI tool to encrypt/decrypt a file using XOR

Every byte of the file is XORed with 69 (it can be changed in the code and could be everything between 1 and 255)

It can be used to encrypt all sorts of files (e.g. photos or text files), and you can run the encrypted file through the tool again to decrypt it (but of course you already knew that)

I only made this tool because I thought it would help me solve a very specific CTF challenge, but it turned out my hunch was completely wrong, which rendered the tool entirely useless.

Yet, if anybody ever thinks such a tool could help them solve their CTF challenge, then I have saved you the time. Even when you find that the tool didn't help you the least bit, at least you came one step closer to your actual solution. Or rather, one step farther away from a nonsolution.
