# How to XOR with Metasploit::Framework::Compiler The Metasploit C compiler has built-in support for XOR encoding and decoding, which is implemented as the `xor.h` header. # Code Example ```c #include #include #include int main(int args, char** argv) { char* xorStr = "NNNN"; char xorKey = 0x0f; LPVOID lpBuf = VirtualAlloc(NULL, sizeof(int) * strlen(xorStr), MEM_COMMIT, PAGE_EXECUTE_READWRITE); memset(lpBuf, '\0', strlen(xorStr)); xor((char*) lpBuf, xorStr, xorKey, strlen(xorStr)); MessageBox(NULL, lpBuf, "Test", MB_OK); return 0; } ``` To compile, use [[Metasploit::Framework::Compiler::Windows.compile_c|How to use Metasploit Framework Compiler Windows to compile C code]]
