I have a file encrypted using Pseudo-random number generator: https://drive.google.com/open?id=1gZCujDYmEL-FZ5o_xBUS-Ng5979HSsZ7, and I know the plaintext probably starting with \documentclass[12pt]{article}

The code used for encryption was written in C, and it is required to decrypt the file

/* The ISO/IEC 9899:1990 edition of the C standard */

#define RAND_MAX 32767

static unsigned long int next = 1;

int rand(void) // RAND_MAX assumed to be 32767

{

next = next * 1103515245 + 12345;

return (unsigned int)(next/65536) % 32768;

}

void srand(unsigned int seed)

{

next = seed;

}
