Reverse Engineer a Challenge-Response Algorithm

Closed Posted 5 years ago Paid on delivery
Closed Paid on delivery

We have a project where we are communicating with a "Black Box". Before we can communicate with it, the Box sends us a 2-byte token to which we have to respond. The response we send is based on the token the Box sends us. We don't know what the algorithm is that’s used to generate the response.

The task is to reverse engineering the algorithm used to generate the response. We have 4 examples of data the Black Box sends and the response it expects (see below). We have a fifth example we'll use to validate your algorithm.

We'll pay $500 to the first person that can provide an algorithm that passes our test.

Black Box --> Our Response

00 94 0E BF

00 7C C5 A7

03 4E 5E 88

01 EF C1 EB

All values are in Hex.

Hi, I have a doubt regarding the sample test cases provided. In the first test data(00 94 0E BF), are the tokens 0000 0094 and response 000E 00BF? or are they 00 94 and 0E BF? If I could get this clarified More

Hi there, IS this BlackBox ECM/ECU used in Cars ? if yes , could you tell me model name. if no could you tell me more about this BlackBox, What kind of CPU/SoC they're using , also their architecture e.g..: ARM,MIP More

Any chance to communicate with the box directly? Are your results the same every instance while sending those bytes or is time/other headers a factor too? Any chance to get a copy of the blackbox firmware/software?

I've already done the work somehow. Would you mind giving me the 5th token so I could send you response calculated by my algorithm? Stay tuned, I'm still working on this proposal.

Hello, It is impossible to extract the correct algorithm from the samples you have provided. To be able to extract the algorithm correctly you need to supply more samples. Regards, dragomir_goranov Relevant Skills a More
