MissyElliott
MissyElliott.encode("Example") # => "\xAE\xF0\xBC\xA4\xF8\xE4\xAC"
#"Example"
#--> ["E", "x", "a", "m", "p", "l", "e"]
#--> [69, 120, 97, 109, 112, 108, 101]
#--> ["01000101", "01111000", "01100001", "01101101", "01110000", "01101100", "01100101"]
# Shift yo bits down

# Flip it

MissyElliott.decode("\xAE\xF0\xBC\xA4\xF8\xE4\xAC") # => "Example"
Although MissyElliott.encode
and MissyElliott.decode
have different implentations, they are actually doing the exact same thing!
This is because the algorithm is a reciprocal cipher. See what I had to say about all this on my blog.
