It’s not a duplicate but it still needs to be closed as we don’t answer questions about breaking specific ciphers. – John Deters Jan 27 '19 at 05:38
@CamfySura: to be of some more help: it is deeply nested. The first layer is a typical encoding of binary data, the second layer can be found by using the UNIX file command, for the next layer take a deeper look (hex, characters) into what decoding the second layer gave you. – Steffen Ullrich Jan 27 '19 at 05:48
@CamfySura: To cite myself: "The first layer is a typical encoding of binary data, the second layer can be found by using the UNIX file command". You've obviously missed the first step, i.e. decoding it into binary data. Call file only on the decoded result. – Steffen Ullrich Jan 27 '19 at 09:56
@CamfySura this new edit is far too broad to be answerable – schroeder Jan 27 '19 at 12:40
