How Automated Brute Force Breaks XOR Ciphers
A single-byte XOR cipher has only 256 possible keys, so a computer breaks it in milliseconds by trying every key and scoring which output looks most like English. Repeating-key XOR falls almost as fast using Hamming-distance key-length detection. Here is exactly how the automated attack works, with working code.
