    Assumption then is that you're working on car dealer database software or similar?
    Looks like it.

    The assumption then being that there has to be a way to get from the encrypted string used to identify the cars without using the Reg Number, back to the Reg Number.

    At this point Minnie tells us that the bit thats fecked and needs fixing.

      This indicates to me that the decryption algorithm is widely available. Or that they're all using the same bit of software.

        The bottom of each page says "Powered by Auto Trader", so it's all the same software.


        Does the OP work for Auto Trader, or are they trying to reverse engineer the AT code?


        ...this might help (haven't read it, but it was one of the first hits when I googled "auto trader source code":

          AutoTrader source code - MPGH - MultiPlayer Game Hacking & Cheats
          Code:
          print '$numberOfPotionsIAmOffering:' . $numberOfPotionsIAmOffering . ' $numberOfPotionsBuyerIsOffering:' . $numberOfPotionsBuyerIsOffering . "\n";
             	 if($numberOfPotionsIAmOffering==0 && $numberOfPotionsBuyerIsOffering>=1){
             	  print "\t" . 'I GIVE NO POTION ... YOU GIVE 1+ POTION ... WE GOT A DEAL ... ;-))' . "\n";
             	  $bool_acceptTrade=1;
          Nice try, but...

          I think it's clear that the field is base64 encoded representation of the encrypted car reg:

          Code:
          "DL13 UHU" -->  33 0f b0 da 3e 42 2c 17 --> Mw+w2j5CLBc=
          "AE07 GVD" -->  e1 94 71 7f 3e 88 7e c6 --> 4ZRxfz6IfsY=
          "PJ56 EDU" -->  21 81 37 d4 cf ac c7 91 --> IYE31M+sx5E=
          "YT51 YZM" -->  ab c1 17 76 04 17 a0 e8 --> q8EXdgQXoOg=
          The term 'encrypted' could be use loosely, but I would say it is not a simple obfuscation. So you need to guess the algorithm (e.g. rc2/des/aes/?) and the key and you still don't know if obfuscation was on top. Without any source code for hints it's a pretty tall order.
