Decoding Help in determining Encryption Type

[pune3t]

Hey Guys, hope you all are doing great nowadays.

By the way, I've a code which I need to decode but the thing is I don't know anything about its encryption. I just have its answer available with me and I seriously have tried everything that I possibly could do with it.

Here the required code is "a\xd0\xc2o2\xab\x98\xac\x07$\xcc\x0b\x12O\xd3\x01\xc3{\xf8I.\x9c\x8e\xdevﲵ\x16\x9f\xc7*" (without quotes). And the answer to it is 5491140002491396.

what I've tried so far is the following :-
1. converted it using PHP script decoder and the answer to it was ao2$0{I.v* but I need it to be in Numerical form
2. I converted the answer to decimal using ASCII but the answer again was something else.

Please help me out with the code's encryption type and the method to solve it.

Thanks in advance!

Sorry but what you have provided it hard to decrypt anything.. Do you have any source code? or crypted algo or something.. or app which uses it.. or where you got it from..

the information what you have here.. is more or less goose chase.. .. can be anything from simple XOR .. to hash algoritem with salt..

try to provide more information..

\x would usually imply a trailing hexadecimal block and indeed most of your code does fit this pattern. have you tried removing the non-hex chars (could be padding / dummy data)?

Didn't do much analysis but i wouldn't call this encryption.
I got some serious chinese when i replaced '\x' with '\00'

Try it and see where it leads you. Character numbers can also be a possible direction to go.
