What type of hash this could be?

[L0rd_M@dness]

Practicing for a CTF contest. I'm given a set of hexadecimal numbers I'm supposed to decode, but there is no decoding algorithm. It just says "Decode the key:" following up by the hex values. How can I gather information about the type of code it is?

Length of the hash in bits will narrow it down a bit.
{lengthOfHexString} / 2 * 8 calculates how many bits the hash contains.
Then just look for hash algorithms of {bits} length.

I'd also Google the hash, as someone may have already cracked it.

It's not really a hash, just a series hex values. Apparenly they mean something, but converting them to ASCII just produces nonsense string...

Asking for a hash type is very confusing when you are not talking about a hash at all. I suggest you edit your title.

Have you tried Base64, octal and similar looking encodings?
I don't see a way to find it out other than trying. Maybe you find a multi decoder, where you can try to apply multiple encodings at once.

Can you show it to us so we can get a better understanding of it?

It changes every time I pass the previous level, but it's something like:

\x31\xC0\x50\x68\x78\x24\x20\x76\x68\x79\x75\x70\x78\x68\x75\x73\x24\x70\x68\x79\x27\x22\x75\x68\x24\x25\x22\x73\x68\x77\x74\x79\x25\x68\x72\x70\x71\x78\x68\x71\x78\x76\x22\x68\x79\x22\x75\x73\x68\x22\x27\x70\x78\x68\x78\x22\x75\x22\x68\x70\x77\x77\x79\x68\x24\x25\x23\x25\x68\x75\x72\x71\x70\x68\x24\x74\x72\x71\x68\x20\x27\x76\x24\x68\x71\x70\x79\x74\x68\x24\x22\x74\x24\x68\x20\x79\x73\x23\x68\x25\x77\x25\x73\x68\x23\x25\x25\x75\x68\x73\x20\x79\x77\x68\x70\x74\x24\x27\x68\x70\x20\x20\x24\x68\x74\x23\x75\x70\x68\x76\x72\x79\x76\x68\x79\x70\x24\x27\x68\x24\x77\x78\x79\x68\x71\x77\x75\x24\x68\x27\x77\x76\x70\x68\x24\x71\x71\x78\x68\x79\x76\x71\x75\x54\x5E\x8B\xFE\x8B\xD7\xFC\xB9\x80\x00\x00\x00\xBB\x41\x00\x00\x00\x31\xC0\x50\xAC\x33\xC3\xAA\xE2\xFA\x54\x5E\xCC

It appears to me to be content of a file, but how to know what type of file it could make?

I tried going back and changing the email address, and as expected, the given hex numbers change every time. But one thing doesn't ever change: the first 4 hex values, which are:
31 C0 50 68
This never changes. First I thought it was a magic number so i searched for it in tables online. Such thing doesn't exist.
Does anyone have a clue what "31 C0 50 68" might mean?

Staff note: no double post!
shit i did it again...

Look if it makes sense as shellcode.
You can convert shellcode to ASM i.e. here: http://zeltser.com/reverse-malware/convert-shellcode.html

I still havent really gotten anything.
Deque, thanks for the tip, but being the true noob I am, I have no idea about how to run an assembly program. I reversed the shell code to assembly, and tried compiling it with fasm, but all i get is a BIN file 
which, again, being the noob I am, doesn't make sense to me and I don't know how to run it (expected an exe... is that not what I should get?)
This is the output from the program i have right now: pastebin.com/yi7kQNc3
And removing the line numbers, this is the asm code:

Kind of annoying tot read with no adres numbers. But it's a xor decoder. See the latest xor + loop
