Anyone know what sort of encryption this is...

D7976;F&



M:=7KQ>A53>Q?35:;@7NEA8FI3D7N?[UdaeaXfNI[`VaieN5gddW`fHWde[a`NDg`O

E_Sdf6dh/5,NNI;@6AIENNekefW_%$NNEWfgbNNE_Sdf6dh WjW

I think it has shifting ASCII values to upper case or lower case but am not sure.

Any ideas??

Thanks

That would be encodeing, if it were ascii values, and it would be easy to decode. The best person to answer this would be Jeff. Another reason you know it is not ascii is because it has the letters k and m in it etc, ascii is 16 chars so 0123456789abcdef

It appears to be encoded using a simple cipher - the letters have been shifted 14/15 places to the left. Decrypted, it reads something like this:


REGEDIT&

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVer***

"SmartDrv"="C:\\WINDOWS\\system32\\Setup\\SmartDrv.exe


The asterisked section should probably read "Version]", but it does not appear to. This looks like a registry key (.REG file) to me.

P.S. PeOfEo, do you mean hexadecimal when you refer to a set of 16 characteres? ASCII is a 7 bit code for representing characters (see http://www.jimprice.com/jim-asc.htm)
