Hello
I would like to know what type of encryption does this Javascript uses and
if it's possible to crack the encryption, thank you, here's the encrypted
codes:
var desk_data =
'efbps_et!efts_niprc&/fl|nmtee.o/.etlcto.rf;efc_ofr=ucinm{o(a
=;<.eghi+{fmi.eu)i(scnimmi.eu)rtr rees f/nmtee.o/ts([]sc)euntu}rtr

'Gill Bates' - using a pseudonym like that along with a very unhelpful
subject makes the email look like spam; I almost deleted this email before
I read it - along with the 300 real spam mails that I deleted.
I did not develop this 'encryption' technique - and I am not a security
expert, so sorry, but I cannot tell you what kind of encryption it is.
However, I don't think it is encrypted. It looks like a JavaScript zipping
technique such as this one:

You should ask the original author of the script how they produced it.
