Ask HN: What is this long Get In Touch string at the end of Balanced job post?
In Newest, Balanced has:
"Get in touch: aXdhbnR0b21ha2VhZGlmZmVyZW5jZStobkBiYWxhbmNlZHBheW1lbnRzLmNvbQ=="
Is this some sort of known encryption of their email? Or I guess part of the challenge is to decrypt this?
- redspark 14y agoAre you a developer? Any good developer should recognize that encoding. :-)
- saiko-chriskun 14y agoFor some reason your comment made me realize what encoding it was. I don't know why, hahah.
- nayefc 14y agoYeah I'm a developer. I don't want to apply to the, but I'm really curious. Or rather, pretty angry at my self that I don't get it haha. Still can't figure it out :( It's not UTF-8, ASCII nor md5/SHA1 or any hex. Am I missing something?
- veesahni 14y agonot many encodings have a preference of ending with ==
- nayefc 14y agoFigured it out :) Next task: saiko's encryption :p
- saiko-chriskun 14y agoahh don't try hahah, it's not an encryption it's just some identifier for some other website awhile back that was doing some sort of HN integration xD
- krapp 14y agoit's base64 encoding.
