XOR mIRC

[Noia]

I have just finished making a simple XOR encryption script, and I wan't you'r input on it...
There are a few problem's with it, like for example, when you XOR something in mIRC, you often end up with Bracket's and other thing's that mIRC can't handel....because of this, I added a simple encryption ontop of the XOR, to encrypt the text before it's xor'd, that way, any nasty bracket's and sutch won't cause a problem..

Any way, the file is in a TXT, just load it into you'r remote's, instruction's are inside, the one to use is the "Serial-Cipher", any thing else could o horribly wrrong(just kidding)

A few question's:
* Is XOR a good encryption?
* Have I done it right here?
* How long would it take to crack an XOR encryption?

I'v made a little competition, the first line of the txt contain's a string made with the
Serial-Cipher, See if you can crack it, the password is quite easy...

Tanx in advance

um..xor isnt meant to be very good, i remember my days of learning b02k and xor encryption was not recomended, as it was simple, please dont flame me as i done it to learn and never connected to a server
This is a tut from anticrack on how Xor works

um....I know how it work's, the poin't is that if you don't know the exact password, the choice become's a pattern of 255 (in the case of mIRC) different character's.....so I'd say it seem's pretty safe, don't see how ppl can crack it, but hey.....what do I know....
