# Better ZIP, crypto, 231p
Based on data including state test scores, college readiness, graduation rates, SAT/ACT scores, teacher quality, as well as reviews from students and parents. Based on cost of living factors for an area including housing costs, tax rates, and cost of essentials like food and fuel. If there is data on the hard disk that is rarely used, in order to save disk space it makes sense to pack such files and folders into archives. For this purpose it is necessary to use an archiver program, for example, the BetterZip utility.
- Mathmagic shared this idea 1 year ago. L1 = Sequence(x^k, k, 1, 5) L2 = Zip(v(2), v, L1) works fine but typing. L3 = Sequence(Curve(t^k, 1 / t^k, t, 0, 5), k, 1, 5) zip(w(2),w,L3) I get illegal argument. Is it possible the last command get a list of points?

- # Better ZIP, crypto, 231p The legacy ZIP crypto is long broken, so we've fixed it. In this task we got Python implementation of ZIP compressor, which used custom cryptography. We don't know the password they used, so we cannot decompress it, but we can see the file list - `flag.png`. The cryptography was quite simple.

password they used, so we cannot decompress it, but we can see the file list - `flag.png`.
The cryptography was quite simple. There were 8 Linear Feedback Shift Registers, initialized basing on
the password. They were only 20 bit in length, so we could brute force it, if we had enough plaintext known.
Luckily, PNG has a few predictable places at the beginning and the end. Unfortunately, the first 20 bits,
which are mostly constant headers, we know already from the ZIP file structure, so they are useless.

Luckily, PNG has a few predictable places at the beginning and the end. Unfortunately, the first 20 bits,
which are mostly constant headers, we know already from the ZIP file structure, so they are useless.
The bits we used as known, were:
- 20 and 21, set to 0000, top two bytes of image height
- 24, set to 08, bit depth
- 25, set to 02, color type (RGB)
- 26, set to 00, compression
- 27, set to 00, filter type
- 28, set to 00, interlacing
- 33, set to 00, high byte of next chunk's length
- and final 12 bytes, which is the whole IEND chunk

This was 20 bits in total, which allowed us to write `parse.py` and narrow down the LFSR parameter
possibilities to just a couple each - or a couple hundred combinations in total. We brute forced them
all - `final.py` - and if it produced a valid PNG, we were done.

If there is data on the hard disk that is rarely used, in order to save disk space it makes sense to pack such files and folders into archives. For this purpose it is necessary to use an archiver program, for example, the BetterZip utility.
This application allows you to compress data using different packaging algorithms, while reducing the original file size. In addition, the program can perform various actions with file archives without unpacking their contents. For example, using BetterZip, you can view the contents of archives and extract only individual data from them.

- Extract Only Files You Really Need: If you only need a few files or folders from a larger archive, you don’t have to extract the whole thing. Simply drag the files you need from the BetterZip window to any Finder window or the desktop.
- Open Archives Without Extracting: Not only can BetterZip open archives without first extracting them but you can also search for a file using the iTunes-like interface. BetterZip can open and extract archives with the most common formats: ZIP, SIT, TAR, XAR, XZ, GZip, BZip2, RAR, 7-Zip, CPIO, ARJ, LZH/LHA, JAR, WAR, CAB, ISO, CHM, RPM, DEB, NSIS, BIN, HQX, DMG, EPUB, and Winmail.dat.
- Create Archives: Simply drag files and folders from your hard drives, disks, or network places into your new zip file. You no longer have to copy all the files into a temporary folder first. The supported formats are ZIP, TAR, GZip and BZip2 compressed TAR, XAR, 7-ZIP, and RAR (using the external RAR commandline tool). Large archives can also be split.
- Protect Your Data: BetterZip can protect your data with a password and create AES-256 encrypted archives. 7-zip and rar archives can also be protected.
- Update Archives: Add new or updated files to existing archives. Remove any file or folder from an archive, or even move files around inside the archive as if it were a normal folder.
- Make Archives Compatible: Strip Mac-specific files and resource forks from archives for best compatibility with systems like Windows or Linux.
