[RESOLVED] Different ways of reading Reg_Binary to string?

**Cyb3rH4Xter** · Apr 19th, 2011, 03:00 AM

I have this value that I exported from regedit:

Code:

"Value"=hex:56,d6,b5,e9,b5,f0,90,f2,6c,64,51,ad,df,c8,6d,75,db,31,1f,bc

The hex after the colon should be

Code:

7ahk7dht74

I would like to know different ways converting that "hex" array to string. Because I want to know how it is encoded.

How did you end up with the value 7ahk7dht74?

**Cyb3rH4Xter** · Apr 19th, 2011, 08:01 AM

No I didn't end up with it. A program that is not open source creates that key, and in the program it says the key got the value as written above.

It's obviously encoded or encrypted. That's the only reason a 20 digit hex becomes a 10-digit string.

**Cyb3rH4Xter** · Apr 19th, 2011, 02:50 PM

Yeah probably, so then there is no way to find out how it is encrypted?

You'd have to ask the company that's storing the data. It doesn't appear to be something simple like a Caesar Cypher.

Okay, thx for telling me anyway.
