hash encrypted - drasgo - Jan 16, 2015
Hi everybody,
i have in my hands this hash, and i tries to decrypt it using md5, sha1, sha2, sha256.. etc etc, but it seems that it is not one of them.. i was thinking that maybe the guy who encrypted it used many layers of alghoritms, and i don't know what to do..
i usually don't cry for help, but now i'm fairly desperate because i don't understand how this was cracked.. any help/suggestions?
this is the hash: RUt+quJYMGMdS0/Lg0vlLfsuGDcmrQQZ7jp+OstalRvYvrQY9HSfmw==
thank you very much!

It's not a hash(or it's not one of the ones listed at least), it's encoded. The fact that it's a valid encoded string but doesnt decode to anything readable(in any shift i know of) mean's it's likely encryption, not hashing. Lots of encryption algorithms produce outputs that extend beyond the human readable parts of the ASCII character list. To deal with differences in computers and to avoid errors the output is encoded with something like Base64, which is comprised only of the normal human readable ASCII characters.

so is there any chance i will be able to decrypt it?
by the way, thank you for the explanation
is anybody able to decrypt it?
i don't know how to solve this problem!
