Detailed Stuff about Encryptor/Decryptor:
 The encryption method used with Encryptor/Decryptor performs a bitwise XOR on each character of the data you wish to encrypt with a series of mathematically generated keys. This key is generated using a pseudo-random number generator using a hash of the password as the seed. The security of the encrypted data is dependent on the length and randomness of the key. This is not a high-level encryption process.
