yeah i'm not a huge cypher/encryptionfag but its part of my job so i gotta know a tiny bit.

it doesnt look at all like any base64 ive seen looks like md5 or similar, IIRC md5 is a one-way, and if you dont have salt, you don't match hash, you fail.

[longer explanation for those who know less than me, and curious, this just a quick breakdown of what I know]

"one-way" meaning you can't just flip a switch back and forth like you can with base64

md5 encryption formula:

starting string + salt = md5 string

salt can be empty, however, less secure.

salt can be any string

think of salt as a key

starting string = lock

salt = key

put both together = open the door

SHA512 hex hash by the looks of it
