**How to work enc function:**

1. Encode string to base64

2. Create a new string from the encoded one by applying xor to each character:

`new [i] = base64_encoded [i] ^ base64_encoded [i + 1]`

3. Convert the result to hex

**How to work decode:**

1. Convert the hex string to bytes (`binascii.unhexlify`)

2. Know first char

1. If you don't know it just repeat algorithm for each base64 alphabet's chars

3. `base64_encoded [i + 1] = base64_encoded [i] ^ new [i]`
