# Really Small Algorithm

This is a follow up to Really Simple Algorithm, If you dont understand RSA, reading my writeup may be helpful.

Netcatting the provided server, we get the following information

n: 168568487734531339722847001062906985132474828107104953012921282214771799397458868928941542087309912022691790615789396052565649028046249556110467435397815281
e: 65537
ct: 101941145249749032039025801686705113923858829671532838762443749332717827997455732896325524381928680203990566658096027224436631019913072267091260763589856629


We are provided with n, e and ct. Recovering pt from this information is completely based on our ablitiy to factor n into primes p and q.
Now as the name is hinting towards the keyword small, one of the factors may be small. We may try factoring the given n

Alpetron is a really cool site for integer factorization, which uses ECM method for factoring integers. (I plan on writing a writeup on that)

Or the other method could be getting a list of small primes, and checking if we have a factor, as in my case.
Once we get hold p and q, rest is piece of cake.
