Task 1: Recovering scrambled bits
For this task I will upload a text file with scrambled bits on the Interact site closer. You will be required to restore the scrambled bits to their original order and copy the plain text in your assignment.
Deliverable: Describe the process used in restoring the scrambled bits and insert plain text in the assignment.
The WinHex is the tool that is used to change the text content values in hexadecimal format, making some of the strong encryption which can only be decrypted if the right order to reverse operations are being followed. For the current text file, the contents operations are as follows:
Select Modify Data->in the new pop up window select the “left shift by 1-bit option”
Output:
Afterwards select Modify Data->in the new pop up window select the “32-bit byte swap” option
Output and decrypted text:
Jahankhani, H., Carlile of Berriew, Akhgar, B., Taal, A., Hessami, A., & Hosseinian-Far, A. Global security, safety and sustainability.
