Well first you should now is the algorythm that would be a nice startpoint
:-)
in .Net a lot of algorythms are managed and complete in the framework ,,,
you throw in a init vector , and key and specify a algorythm ( Rijndael ,
DES , etc etc etc ) and there is your encrypted data

I have been given a data feed to decrypt on a daily basis.
All i have been given is the KEY (8 chars) and a Vector (IV) of 8
chars.
I am using the cryptAPI in VB6 but can see no reference to the IV.
If the IV is used by .NET to create a HASK key, then does anyone know
what algorithm MS use?
Is the IV the same as SALT?
Lost and any help would be greatly appreciated.
