Someone elwe with a similar sort of story here : http://ask.metafilter.com/218270/Hel...ks-like-base64
What database system is this?
Edit: it looks like standard DES encoded in base64.
See the tool here: http://www.tools4noobs.com/online_tools/encrypt/
You'll need to find the routine that was used to encrypt it to find the key.Last edited by darrylmg; 22 July 2015, 22:37.Don't believe it, until you see it!Comment

DL13 UHU comes out as QT/xMBEVRUX< in my script unfortunately so not the same hack.

DL13 UHU
->
Mw+w2j5CLBc=
All the encrypted text ends in a '=' which makes me think that 11 chars + '=' is the work of someone who is not exactly rigorous. The space might be removed before encryption but not sure really.Don't believe it, until you see it!Comment

AE07 GVD -> 4ZRxfz6IfsY=
PJ56 EDU -> IYE31M+sx5E=
YT51 YZM -> q8EXdgQXoOg=
The system creators are the types to find the first thing on google that they could copy and paste.
Assumption then is that you're working on car dealer database software or similar?Do what thou wiltComment
