Hello! A friend of mine made these codes as a challenge for me to solve. I've cracked one before, they were using base64, but since then they've changed their encryption method and now I'm completely stumped... They look hexadecimal, but they seemingly aren't. I'd appreciate it if someone could enlighten me on this :')
Here are the codes: 245714434b6778d4818ef5b816bfe00c 7ad79b05d27c42a7a183f8a0415de1dc
ce01b9ed0a0bf0a83f79bd7f945eca9c
6134d53b8ac741dc8ffc2b58ff760a80
8db29e3171df4509726299e869aba2ea
6d5ff651c0fd4c5c19fdfd48ef35b47a
14049ecb9e84f2732b16a62a4044e906

Have a nice day.

lokiWithout knowing more about the strings, its going to be very hard. The strings are in hexadecimal. Trying to decode them as ASCII, the first one (2457..) translates to $W, but things start going downhill rapidly from there. The next two bytes (14), convert to decimal 20, an unprintable character. The last six bytes (BF, E0, 0C), convert to (191, 224, 12). All unprintable characters. $W does not appear to be a file signature like PK, MZ, or (0xFF, 0xD8) (look them up)

Thank you for your help, having the help and input of someone more experienced is very helpful, have a nice day!

Arduino EnigmaDifferent encoding, not ASCII? Anything to do with crazy stuff like endians? Are these one single sentence or multiple? I find the lengths strange.

Arduino Enigma, loki, Ok, looked into it a bit more: There are 8 rows. Each row has exactly 32 characters, ending with 256 chars in total. That's weird. Too ... binary
