you will try to use "brute force" to decrypt an encrypted message, where you only have the first 96-bits of the 128-bit secret key (last 4 bytes of the secret key are missing!) The program should be called "findk", and should deal with two files that contain the encrypted text as a stream of bytes and the first 96-bits of the key, respectively. The program should print out on standard output the missing 4 bytes of the key in hexadecimal, the decrypted message and the time it took to find the correct key. o To test this part, here is the encrypted file (ciphertext2.dat), and the first 96-bits of the key (partial-key.dat) Hint: the original message starts with the word "Salam".
