xor-cipher-core

Simple, reusable and optimized XOR ciphers in Python (core).

xor-cipher-core is the core of xor-cipher.

Installing

Python 3.8 or above is required.

pip

Installing the library with pip is quite simple:

$ pip install xor-cipher-core

Alternatively, the library can be installed from source:

$ git clone https://github.com/xor-cipher/xor-cipher-core.git
$ cd xor-cipher-core
$ pip install .

poetry

You can add xor-cipher-core as a dependency with the following command:

$ poetry add xor-cipher-core

Or by directly specifying it in the configuration like so:

[tool.poetry.dependencies]
xor-cipher-core = "^1.1.0"

Alternatively, you can add it directly from the source:

[tool.poetry.dependencies.xor-cipher-core]
git = "https://github.com/xor-cipher/xor-cipher-core.git"

Examples

Simple Cipher

Use the xor function to perform the simple XOR cipher:

>>> from xor_cipher_core import xor
>>> xor(b"Hello, world!", 0x42)
b"\n'..-nb5-0.&c"

Cyclic Cipher

Use the cyclic_xor function to perform the cyclic XOR variation:

>>> from xor_cipher_core import cyclic_xor
>>> cyclic_xor(b"Hello, world!", b"BLOB")
b"\n)#.-`o5->#&c"

In-Place Cipher

There are functions to perform the XOR cipher in-place, on bytearray instances:

>>> from xor_cipher_core import xor_in_place
>>> data = bytearray(b"Hello, world!")
>>> xor_in_place(data, 0x42)
>>> data
bytearray(b"\n'..-nb5-0.&c")
