Quick thought: each byte is a printable ascii character between space (0x20) and 'Z' (0x5a) inclusive. All these bytes appear in all the encoded files. Does anything interesting happen if you interpret the files as encoded in base 59?

(Edit: obviously I'm talking about the files after they have been base64 decoded…)



It seems more like the string decodes to multiple base 59 numbers. The cipher is another layer on top of that.


getting warmer. the range of ascii characters is correct. The code isn't as simple though as just base59ing it.
