Question: An attacker intercepts the following ciphertext ( encoded in hexadecimal ) : 9 4 f 0 4 3 aa 8 4 4 f 7 1
An attacker intercepts the following ciphertext encoded in hexadecimal:
faafcaabd caadabafdeccd
The attacker knows that the plaintext corresponds to the ASCII encoding of the message "A Alice $excluding the quotation marks
The attacker also knows that CBC encryption was used with a random IV and AES as the underlying block cipher.
Show that the attacker can change the ciphertext so that it decrypts to "A Alice $
What is the resulting ciphertext encoded in hexadecimal
This demonstrates that CBC does not provide integrity.
