Two-Time Pad

Medium 300 pts 🚩 53 solves ⏱ Avg. time to solve: 7d 3h

Challenge Question

A one-time pad is only unbreakable when the key is used exactly once. Here, two different messages were encrypted with the same key, so 'one-time' was clearly not meant literally. Think about what happens when two ciphertexts made with the same key are combined, and use that weakness to recover the plaintext and the flag.
