what do you mean decode? I don't think you could decode those, unless you are working with them. once a variable is encoded, it cannot be decoded unless they are using a function which allows them to be decoded. md5(), sha1(), crypt() can't be decoded. they would usually get a random number and decode it, so there is no way you could get to the direct path.

 

EDIT: imo he is trying to decode this string: niwske5oy33wzrz

That's kind of true, but md5 or sha1 for example are not encryption/encoding schemes, they are one-way hashing algorithms. They are designed for different purposes and based on different logic.

 

One possibility is that the string is just a unique identifier, like an auto incrementing number but with alphanumerical characters. Consider that in 4 numeric digits you obviously have 10,000 unique possibilities. In 4 alphanumeric characters (using *only* lower-case) you have 1,679,616 unique possibilities. It's hard to say what they mean without seeing the code behind mediafire.

In response to your last post, just use file_get_contents. That will return the HTML source of a web page.

Guys, OP wants to break the encryption on the FILE THAT URL POINTS TO.  NOT THE URL ITSELF.

 

OP:  This file was encrypted on purpose.  Probably because it costs money.  Ask the original author for the unencrypted source code.  Doing this yourself will take a very long time, there is no automated "make this readable" code, any work like this would have to be done by hand.

 

Note that it's also illegal in many countries, including the US.
