I've just started studying decode, and with a quiz sites. I think that they're base64 code and tried to decode in many decoded sites.
Ex: gPn8fA2pDJ9HApjA+Y9feV2RHTVv3l0BH6wDAH9CEh59vA5Q5RHT+UPOnHnwFn/R
How to decode them to ABCD and if you decode by a site, can you teach me how to use it? (only ABCD, because this's quiz site).
Thank you very much!
I'd recommend the usage of Notepad++ to encode/decode Base64 data.
It is quite simple. Just navigate to menu Complements -> MIME Tools. Before clicking the encode/decode options, make sure you have selected the data you want to (en)(de)code. In Notepad++ you can open any type of files, even executables, PDF, etc, to use the Base64 capabilities.

I am a Linux newbie and I often find myself working with a bunch of random data.
For example: I would like to work on a sample text file to try out some regular expressions or read some data into gnuplot from some sample data in a csv file or something.
I normally do this by copying and pasting passages from the internet but I was wondering if there exists some combination of commands that would allow me to do this without having to leave the terminal. I was thinking about using something like the curl command but I dont exactly know how it works...
To my knowledge there are websites that host content. I would simply like to access them and store them in my computer.
In conclusion and as a concrete example, how would i copy and paste a random passage off the internet from a website and store it in a file in my system using only the command line? Maybe you can point me in the right direction. Thanks.
You could redirect the output of a curl command into a file e.g.
curl https://run.mocky.io/v3/5f03b1ef-783f-439d-b8c5-bc5ad906cb14 > data-output
Note that I've mocked data in Mocky which is a nice website for quickly mocking an API.
I normally use "Project Gutenberg" which has 60,000+ books freely downloadable online.
So, if I want the full text of "Peter Pan and Wendy" by J.M. Barrie, I'd do:
curl "http://www.gutenberg.org/files/16/16-0.txt" > PeterPan.txt
If you look at the page for that book, you can see how to get it as HTML, plain text, ePUB or UTF-8.
everybody.
Please, help me fight my little personal war against spam/malware. I'm receiving spam with obviously fake attachments in form of .doc bills or invoices.
This fake docs contain macro code that I'm able to decrypt using various tools. Generally such code tries to download an encripted text file which is actually further VBA code which, if executed, tries to download the real malware in form of an EXE file.
The encrypted text file was usually a simple base64 encoded string.
Using normal base64 encoding/decoding tools was more than enough to decrypt the content and identify the IP address from which the malware tries to download the exe virus.
Recently things have changed. Now the encrypted text file contains what is apparently base64 encoding but it is not.
The content is something like:
PAB0AGUAeAB0ADEAMAA+ACQAaAB5AGcAcQB1AGQAZwBhAGgAcwA9ACcAbgB1AGQAcQBoAHcA
aQB1AGQAaABxAHcAZABxAHcAJwA7AA0ACgAkAGcAZgB5AHcAdQBnAGgAYQBtAHMAPQAnADEA
MgBqAGgAMwBnADEAMgBoACAAMQAyAGcAMwBqAGgAMQAyADMAMQAyADMAJwA7AA0ACgAkAGQA
...
aQBoAHcAZAB1AGkAcQB3AHUAZABxAHcAaQAgAGgAZABxAHcAaABkACIADQAKAFMAZQB0ACAA
bwBiAGoAUwBoAGUAbABsACAAPQAgAEMAcgBlAGEAdABlAE8AYgBqAGUAYwB0ACgAIgBXAFMA
YwByAGkAcAB0AC4AUwBoAGUAbABsACIAKQA8AC8AcwB0AGUAeAB0ADMAPgA=
which resembles base64 encoding. But if you try and decode it using base64, you get something like:
<^#t^#e^#x^#t^#1^#0^#>^#$^#h^#y^#g^#q^#u^#d^#g^#a^#h^#s^#=^#'^#n^#u^#d^#q^#h^#w^#i^#u^#d^#h^#q^#w^#d^#q^#w^#'^#;^#
^#
^#$^#g^#f^#y^#w^#u^#g^#h^#a^#m^#s^#=^#'^#1^#2^#j^#h^#3^#g^#1^#2^#h^# ^#1^#2^#g^#3^#j^#h^#1^#2^#3^#1^#2^#3^#'^#;^#
^#
^#$^#d^#o^#w^#n^# ^#=^# ^#N^#e^#w^#-^#O^#b^#j^#e^#c^#t^# ^#S^#y^#s^#t^#e^#m^#.^#N^#e^#t^#.^#W^#e^#b^#C^#l^#i^#e^#n^#t^#;^#
instead of plain text (the VBS code that downloads the exe file).
Can anyone help me find the way to decode such dirt?
Thanks in advance!
I have recently installed a word press theme on my site. And i am trying to remove the credit links from the footer and sidebar, the code was in encrypted format. The theme is not functioning properly if i try to remove the links, I tried decoding using base 64 converters, but it does not helped me.
Can anyone expert let me know what kind of encoding is this and tell me how can i decode it.
Thanks in advance.
Here i am have pasted the code
http://pastebin.com/ZLGRN9ey
It's encoded in base64 if you look at the end of the file.
#eval(base64_decode($m));unset($m);
#eval executes the PHP. It looks like it is first decoded with the base64_decode function, though. Then, variable m is removed. If you want to see it decoded, do echo base64_decode($m). Even if you do this, though, it's likely that the code would still be rather obfuscated and unreadable. Try emailing the developer for the source.
I'm trying to create a webpage in Chinese and I realized that while the text looks fine when I run it on browsers, once I change the Character Encoding, the text becomes gibberish. Here's what's happening:
I create my html file in Emacs, encoded in UTF-8.
I upload it to the server, and view it on my browsers (FF, IE, Chrome, Opera) - no problem.
I try to view the page in other encodings via FF > View > Character Encoding > All those different Chinese encoding systems, e.g. Chinese Simplified (HZ)
Apart from UTF-8, on every other encoding the text becomes gibberish.
I'm assuming this isn't a problem - i.e. browsers are smart enough to know which encoding the page is in, and parse the content accurately. What I'm wondering is why I can't read the Chinese text anymore once I change encoding - is it because I don't have Chinese fonts installed on my OS? Should I stick to UTF-8 if my audience are Chinese or should I choose among one of their many encoding systems?
Thanks in advance for your help/opinions.
UTF isn't a 'catch-all' encoding. It's designed to contain international language character symbols for ease of use, but it is still an encoding, just like the other encodings you've selected. You would have to retype the text in each encoding to make it appear correctly when viewed with that encoding.
Viewer encoding MUST match the file being read. Viewing UTF-8 as something other makes about same sense as renaming .txt to .exe and trying to run it.
You should specify correct encoding in HTML. The option you're using in web browser exist only for those rare occasions when web developer screwed up his job and declared other encoding than actually used OR mixed up 2 different encodings on one page.
Of course changing the encoding in your browser will "break" the text! The browser is taking the stream of UTF-8 codepoints and tries to force another encoding on the raw data. Needless to say, the result ain't pretty. Changing the encoding in the browser is NOT the equivalent of converting.
As you surmised correctly, modern browsers usually guess correctly -- but not always. As Agent_L make sure to declare the encoding in the headers.
is it possible to change text and images in a fla file without ever opening it up and then making the swf via command line? I want to make a flash template and save the fla. Then be able to update my text and image name and convert it to swf. I have one template but tons of different text options and background images. It would be nice to be able to copy the master.fla twenty times and just change the source code (will do this from command line) and then convert to swf (via command line).
Any help would be appreciated.
With CS5, you can do half of what you're asking today, by using the XFL file format instead of FLA. Instead of a binary blob, you get an editable XML file and a tree of separate asset files: PNGs, AS3 files, etc. You can then modify the XML or AS3 files programmatically to get your variants.
(A CS5 FLA file is really just a zipped up version of the XFL, but there's no advantage to using that instead of an XFL. In CS4 and previous, FLA was a proprietary binary format.)
The missing piece is an XFL compiler. Adobe currently provides no such thing, and the third party market hasn't yet produced one.
You could use a systems automation tool to drive the Flash Professional environment through the compilation steps. On OS X, for example, either Automator or AppleScript should be able to do what you want. It'll just have more overhead than the command line compiler you were hoping for.
I agree with Jason, there are a lot of alternatives to what you suggest. Keeping content out of the SWF is good practice actually. This is a good way to avoid large files!
Depending on what you 're looking to achieve, there are a lot of solutions available. XML is an option, JSON another.
If you're looking to build a template, any of the above would seem appropriate.
It sounds like you're working from the Flash IDE, as Jason suggests you may want to have a look at another IDE, such as FlashDevelop, FDT or FlashBuilder as they make coding with AS3 a lot easier.
