Counter (CTR) mode encryption 

Now, let's jump to the other mode, which is the Counter (CTR) mode encryption or the Stream Mode:

Here, in this mode, the message size does not matter since we are not limited with a block size and we will encrypt in stream mode, just like XOR does. Now, the block mode is considered stronger by design than the stream mode. In this section, we will implement the stream mode and I will leave it to you to search around and do the block mode.

The most well-known library for cryptography in Python is called PyCrypto. For Windows, there is a compiled binary for it, and for the Kali side, you just need to run the setup ...
