Question

You are a master thief, and have discovered that you can steal all a bank's money by flipping the sixth rightmost (third leftmost) bit in the message 01100010 (that is, change it to 01000010). Unfortunately for you, the bank uses a CRC code to detect message changes. Fortunately for you, the CRC generating polynomial is unprotected, and you may change it at your convenience. What generating polynomial should you use to pull off your heist? Demonstrate that your polynomial does what you want it to.

Explanation / Answer

Let x be the polynomial that generates the bit pattern . Inorder to flip the 6th rightmost bit we have use an XOR function . eg : let x = 01100010 '
