Actually it is a valid Base64 string - it just decodes to 24, 106, 27, 67, 102, 236, 169, 222, 184, 61, 117, 64, 153, 160, 226, 12, 24.  To get dummy@...mple.com<mailto:dummy@...mple.com> you would have to XOR that resulting binary string with 124, 31, 118, 46, 31, 172, 108, 174, 217, 80, 5, 44, 124, 142, 129, 99, 117 which I don't see any pattern in (close to that anyway, I did it in my head so I'm sure I screwed up some of them).  Maybe someone sees something...   Of course, Cal could have done it, which means it's probably Matrix for "titties."  :-p

The input and output are both 17 bytes, so an XOR makes sense, but another 17 character example would help.  And a 20.

Hi Full-Disclosure,

I'm trying to figure out what kind of cipher was used in this:

GGobQ2bsqd64PXVAmaDiDBg=

Looks like Base64, but it's not. The original string is:

dummy@...mple.com<mailto:dummy@...mple.com>

Thanks all!

wbr,
 - Max
