Re: Cryptomania
 

You just proved that those bytes don't represent a text file...
(The string 'LINK' is an inside joke by me, couldn't resist)

Now what kind of (binary) file might this be?

Re: Cryptomania
 

Hex color codes?

Or it could be file signatures

and isn't it 57 not 54?

Re: Cryptomania
 

No colour codes.

The file sequence starts after '->', so we have to find out what kind of file those 54 bytes represent... perhaps it would be a good idea to analyze their header...

If i can decode it :tongue:

Re: Cryptomania
 

The quickest way would be using a (local or online) hex editor, and save it as 'file.gz'. Then you could just open/doubleclick it - given your pc knows how to handle *.gz files.

Oh, I just love such high-level hacks!

Re: Cryptomania
 

I don't have a Hex editor :tongue:

Online ones don't work properly. I tried to copy the text into notepad, save as a .gz file and open it. Doesn't work.

Re: Cryptomania
 

Ok, I admit this is a very special step, so I do it for you. The gz-file, when opened, contains a file (named '_'), which, when opened in any text editor reveals this:
