Malware and cryptography 26: encrypt/decrypt payload via SAFER. Simple C/C++ example

﷽

Hello, cybersecurity enthusiasts and white hackers!

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

SAFER

SAFER (Secure And Fast Encryption Routine) is a symmetric block cipher designed by James Massey. SAFER K-64 specifically refers to the variant with a 64-bit key size. It’s notable …
