block cipher	Thu 09 Apr 2009 13:52
<radiant> Let's try thinking about this level in terms of "What does it take to construct it?" Changing the initial text makes a significant difference in the number of times each bit is flipped over the course of the cipher, and this certainly isn't a symmetric cipher, so a chosen key and ending text don't give a very easy path to finding the initial text needed. Brute-forcing the text just gets you into a search space twice as big as trying to brute force the key. We might have luck trying to look at the function from the perspective of "What are the valid predecessors of 0x0000000000000000?" and, while it may not be feasible to expand the search tree out to the full 1008 (effectively 1007) depth, we might at least be able to eliminate a few of the bits as dead ends.
