Frosty Mod Encryption: Key __full__

[16 bytes IV][ciphertext] Key derived from the hex string above:

Output:

cipher = AES.new(key, AES.MODE_CBC, iv) plaintext = cipher.decrypt(ciphertext) # Remove PKCS#7 padding pad_len = plaintext[-1] return plaintext[:-pad_len] key_hex = "5f4dcc3b5aa765d61d8327deb882cf99" decrypted = decrypt_frosty_config("frosty_config.bin", key_hex) print(decrypted.decode('utf-8')) frosty mod encryption key
