⚠️IMPORTANT⚠️ if you do not fill this out, we will automatically delete your issue. We will not help anyone that cannot fill out this template.

• Have you read our Wiki page “Common Issues & Their Solutions”?

Describe the bug Ciphey outputs random hex digit pairs when run on practically any ciphertext when set to bytes mode, and when the output is not redirected (i.e. into less)

Plaintext ⚠️IMPORTANT⚠️ The below code is non-negotiable for “Ciphey didn’t decrypt…” problems. If you do not tell us your plaintext, we will not help you.

hello, world

or any other string

Version ⚠️IMPORTANT⚠️ We need this information because different environments will induce different bugs in Ciphey

• OS/Distro: Debian
• Python version: Python 3.8.5
• Ciphey versions: master (775fabe)
• Did you use Docker? Nope

Verbose Output ⚠️IMPORTANT⚠️ Verbose output will tell us why it’s not working the way we expected it to be. https://pastebin.com/Gg41gpgU
