1279899 2012-06-06 00:33:00 see i dont know base16 so i tried using this with no results :(

1279900 2012-06-06 07:34:00 ?? explain further please. stratex5 (16685)
1279901 2012-06-06 07:40:00 try this (secure.wikimedia.org). I'm pretty certain that this is a base 16 encryption key. Nick G (16709)

1279903 2012-06-06 09:20:00 What I'm seeing is just a bunch of compressed binary numbers... pcuser42 (130)
1279904 2012-06-06 10:52:00 @ agent_24 yes its the same as there, but my friend gave me the code and i cant work it out i dont understand binary and base numbers like he does lol CAZ2012 (16801)
1279905 2012-06-06 20:41:00 The first digit of each pair is never any higher than 7 (ie base 8).

The second digit can get up to base 16.

8*16=128 - half a byte per letter pair.

Apart from the 00 at the end, the lowest value of any pair is 32, which appears once. (3*16+2=50)
79 appears to be the highest value. (7*16+9=121)

From an Ascii page:
ASCII non-printing control characters
Numbers 0–31 on the ASCII table are assigned for control characters that are used to control some peripheral devices such as printers.

So this is a clue that you may simply have an Ascii character set, or something similar, using just the alpha-numeric range.
THe most common characters could be expected to be vowels and space.

If you genuinely believe there's an attempt to conceal a simple Ascii encoded message, then see if a simple shift (rotation) of the number set gives any sense.
