Show Vernam's maleability by changing the encryption of the next message to flip the thousands.

Assume you know that in the attacked invoices the amount is in the bytes 11-17 (counting from 0), like in "Transfer: $ 1000.".

The ciphertext in hexadecimal is "4462415e33360502bab430110070604e0a".

(If it contains something like "Transfer: $ 1000.", after your attack it should contain "Transfer $2000.").

You can test as:

echo 'Transfer:$ 1000.' | ./vernam_encrypt "10-10-20-30-40-50-60-70-80-90-a0-b0-c0-d0-e0-f0-00-"| ./vernam_encrypt "00-00-00-00-00-00-00-00-00-00-00-03-00-00-00-00-00-" | ./vernam_decrypt "10-10-20-30-40-50-60-70-80-90-a0-b0-c0-d0-e0-f0-00-"

Now what is the ciphertext that would result in a transfer of $10000?
