If I was given an encrypted .key file (no further information about the key), called "abcd.key.enc," how would I start characterizing and identifying information about the key, its encryption/ cipher used, etc...?
My ultimate goal is to decrypt the key, but I can't find any trivial ways to determine anything about the key itself, especially since I can't read the cipher text. The best I can think of is to run linux "strings" against the key file which gives me the output
3Nj3 !/'i9
thanks for any help!
