Format

  1. “Blue OTP 1 file start”
  2. Ciphertext: hexadecimal numbers spelled using the NATO phonetic alphabet
  3. “Offset” followed by the byte position of the key

Messages are encrypted with the XOR cipher, using the file otp-blue-1.bin (1 GB) from the El Paso drop. Keys are fragments of that file, equal in length to the respective ciphertexts.
