base64 / hex riddle

[elija0]

Hey guys,

does anybody has an idea what could this be?

aiSQcO1XOohLBQ6FFP+OtymThGdxJkr/LgFvOL8gg0M=

Translated to hex from base64 (if it's base64 encoded) this gives this value:

6a 24 90 70 ed 57 3a 88 4b 05 0e 85 14 ff 8e b7 29 93 84 67 71 26 4a ff 2e 01 6f 38 bf 20 83 43

Thank you much!

Best regards
Elija

Could be anything... All depends what is the source of that information.

Do you expect it do be a private key?

All I may say that is is just a 'normal' implementation of base64, not the one for files encoding - because for files character "/" is replaced by "-"

For me that's a password.

I say that because we see the special characters (+, /, =)

But could be a passphrase too...

The "=" sign at the end points to this string being indeed Base64 encoded as it's the character being used for padding the end of Base64 encoded data.

Since decoding the string to UTF-8 or ASCII only leads to gibberish it might be a phrase that's been encrypted before being encoded in Base64. It seems unlikely to be a file not only because of the missing character replacement as pointed out by PawGo, but also because we're looking at 32 bytes of data which is too little for anything except maybe txt files.

The data is too out of context for any of us to give any opinion on it. This could be a lot of different things from a private key to hash of an arbitrary string or file. Even if it is a puzzle/riddle you still have to provide more information about where you got this from and in what context was it posted.
