You may think you payed less and still got AES, and what you got was the old’and safe (pun intended) XOR.
It reminds me of another XOR story so much, that I’m starting collecting it.
If you know more, please send them.

chissà se le chiaviche kingston usb elite con cifratura AES hardware hanno lo stesso problema… mha
ma che ne so. Pero’ che cazzo, aes aes, e poi XOR.
BUH dove arriveremo. Pero’ ho inventato il termine “XOR story”. A qualcosa le chiavichette impostori sono servite.
