From the challenge description I know that this is multi-byte xor. I knew that the encrypted text must be a flag so I xored it with "nactf{" and got "meatlo" as a result. I began to search for the xor password length by incrementing the "meatlo". pseudo-english text was at the passlen of 7 so I knew that the password must be 7*x characters long. I started bruteforcing it letter by letter and looking if it looks more like english. At length 7 no possibility looked like full-english so I tried 14 which turned out to be the actual passlen. I found the password "meatlovers8923" and the flag
#### password: meatlovers8923
