What type of code is this?

Hey guys,

How's things?

Anyway, i know this is some kind of encrypted code yet i don't think its MD5. This is only an example of the code, the full slice has about 3000 lines.

Anyway, what code type is this?;

Base64 by the looks of it, though decoding it just yields non-ASCII binary data.

So it cannot be decoded?

It can, but whatever it is is either further encrypted/encoded or just isn't text.

Is it from anywhere in particular, can you post up some more lines?

Probably a base 64 encoded binary such as a picture or digital signature.

It looks like .NET's ViewState, which is a base-64 encoded string.
