Encrypt in AutoIt and Decrypt in Python

[taurus905]

Hello All,

I've spent all morning trying to see if I could encrypt some text in AutoIt and decrypt that text in Python.

The ultimate goal is to ensure that both the encryption and decryption scripts are using compatible algorithms, modes, and parameters.

Any tips on what I need to study would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you.

Here is a link to an older post regarding AutoIt and Python encryption. However, I would like to explicitly point out that this method is in the meantime no longer considered to be absolutely secure.

That's great, Musashi.

Thank you for the tip.

I did have clues that it was a padding issue, but didn't spend enough time to resolve it.

"AutoIT by default uses 0x00 for padding and python uses 0x20"

Now I know where to concentrate my efforts.
