Can someone decode this string for me? Doing some investigation on WAP access through Fido/Rogers. Thanks. By the way, the result should be able to be entered on an iPhone keyboard. (No wierd characters. It's not “¤qRUá¹�f2Ð/±7´)

String:

k6RxUlXhuZ1mBDLQL7E3tA==



Thanks.

You're most likely looking at a hash of the password - let's say a MD5 hash. So no, you won't get the password that way ...

Thanks.

This is a base64 encoded string/message. I've successfully decoded it on a Linux machine, but the content is binary (so, I can't really paste the result here).

You can try to decode it yourself on any linux/unix based system, as long as it contains the command "openssl" (usually from the "openssl" package). Just type the following:

Code:

echo k6RxUlXhuZ1mBDLQL7E3tA== | openssl enc -d -base64 > result.bin

This will create a file named "result.bin", with the decoded string in it.

Ok, I saw your first message, and you already tried to decode it with base64.

Anyway, the message IS base64 encoded, but the content doesn't seem to be utf8/iso8859-1/ascii.

I don't know remember quite well which binary format MacOSX uses, but we can experiment a bit with iconv:

Code:

echo k6RxUlXhuZ1mBDLQL7E3tA== | openssl enc -d -base64 | iconv -f MAC -t UTF8
ì§qRU·πùf2–/±7¥

Or try to run this command on a MAC machine.
