Is there anyway to decode weird text files like this?
it's probably not a text file
Yes.
That's not a text file. Linux could've told you what it really is though through the file command.

Don't you mean ``GNU + Linux''?

upload it, I'll decode it for oyu
I found it while rummaging around some program folder. It has something to do with the licensing, and I found some registry file that has the same text as that file.
I was just curious about how the program knew, even after reinstalling it, that I had installed it before and its trial period had expired.

Are you going to pretend that you can't do that on Windows?
Print it off, shred it, cover the shredded pieces in natural olive oil and stick it up your ass.
After a few hours the ink will soak in to your rectal lining and in to your blood stream causing you to have an epic hallucination where the document will all become clear to you.
Are you using AIM? What the fuck?

Is cheap vegetable oil a good alternative?

WOW!
So, helpful, Linux!
So glad I chose Free As In FreeDom OS.

Yep.

Well shit... I'm not too surprised though, it's some weird file the program spits out to monitor it's licensing.
I was just trying to figure out how the program kept track of its trial period even after I uninstalled it.
Oh well, I guess I'll just start using infinite virtual machines.

Check registry. Also there's a program that lets you track changes to registry and filesystem that another program makes. That could be useful.

And also Olive Oil is great for the skin!

I've been trying with a program called Process Monitor, and the most promising thing I ran into was a registry that had the same jumbled text as the one I posted. What's strange is when I did a fresh install on my other computer, it didn't have that registry file.
I'll skim through them again tomorrow. Hopefully I can find something.

Looks like a damaged/corrupted file desu senpai
Oh fuck, I just figured it out.
So, I deleted that registry file I found, uninstalled the program, deleted the files and folder it left behind. Then I reinstalled it and I'm back in trial mode. Messing with that .txt file is probably the only way to get out of trial mode forever though, which is probably going to be impossible. Reinstalling is quick so I'm fine with that.

Fuck, that would've saved me about an hour of skimming I did with the program I used. Thanks, I'll bookmark this.

have you actually mentioned the name of the program at all yet? I'm looking for it to run it through ida and find out what makes it tick.
File makes a bit more sense if you run it through a hex editor.
