**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]`
