Malware and cryptography 25: encrypt/decrypt payload via RC6. Simple C/C++ example

﷽

Hello, cybersecurity enthusiasts and white hackers!

In one of my previous posts about cryptography in malware, I considered RC5 encryption, one of the readers asked what would happen if I used RC6 encryption for my payload.

This post is the result of my own research on try to evasion AV engines via encrypting payload with another logic: RC6. As usual, exploring various crypto algorithms, I decided to check what would happen if we apply this to encrypt/decrypt the payload. …
