Hi,
In a visual basic .net 2003 application I use an hexadecimal number to
encrypt a file as a symmetric key.
Is it possible to detect, within the executable, the number above to
consequently decrypt the same file?
How secure is to hide an hexadecimal number to be used as password or key
inside an executable file?
String are easy to find.

Any help is appreciated,
Nicola Taibi

If you're going to supply the key with the file, what is the point of
encrypting it in the first place?
