- jc_811 11y agoSorry misspoke there. I meant to simply sub in one of the examples you had given (IP or TCP header, HTTP request, or PNG/JPEG format header)
- dozzie 11y agoAh, it was my fault then. Sorry. I had a header of an IP packet in mind. Its format is known and machine-verifiable, and even includes a simple checksum, so it's quite easy to tell if the guessed encryption key has a chance of being valid.
