Segmentation fault(core dumped) error for key finding prog

[munira kamari]

I have to find the encryption key from a list of words, I have the plain and cipher text and have written a code which decrypts the cipher text using the words from the file and then compares the plain text, if its same it should print the key used.I used the EVP_BytesToKey to convert the word into key. The IV used for encryption was 0 and the Key is not more than 16 characters long. Problem is i get error Segmentation fault(core dumped). Can anyone help me with this?

c++? Try http://www.compileonline.com/compile_cpp_online.php and see what the errors are when compiling. Even if not c++ and strait C, should show you compile errors.

You can choose the drop down menu, pick your language, paste the above in, hit compile and it should show where most the issues are. I'm not a programmer by nature, but its a half decent site to get an idea whats happening to debug the code above.
