Looks like a bunch of hex data to me. What it means though is anyone's guess.

Put it through an ASCII decoder and it comes out with EÜøõlöE=nz>ö'\t'Úóæ.

I think I've got it.

1. Treat the characters as numbers from 0-35, where 0-9 is 0-9 and a-z is 10-35. eg, o, the 15th letter is 24.

2. Reverse the numbers, eg, 0 becomes z, 1 becomes y, 2 becomes x, ... a becomes p, b becomes o, ... giving us vumnkrkutnktvuwmtlspwlktzqmpkwlt

3. Add the code string 8rz2mgtvlrqoslizelqw5l5e7v00xgl8 cylically circling. So if we add 1 to z, we get 0. If we add n(23) to q(17) this gives us 5. (23 + 17 = 40 = 5 mod 35).

This gives us 4llp78dpeeahnfel87il27p87lmphc72

4. Reverse the numbers again, eg 0 becomes z, 1 becomes y, 2 becomes x, ... to give us:

Whoa, what? Did you just come up with that or did you do some cryptanalysis?

I wish the OP would have told me it was some kind of encrypted string of characters.

I'm impressed!
Don't think I would have come up with that algorithm by looking at the encrypted output.

That settles it jkmyoung is a bot script. He's replacing Mary 2.0.

I would have come up with that algorithm but only after running it through a few analysis programs.

Was going to deadpan it, but don't want to take credit where none is due... unless you count tone of voice as worthy of praise.

Plus I didn't know if you were joking; (to be honest, I'm still not sure.)
