Hi,
last night I was surfing through craigslist. An ad looked very strange, it has been posted 7 times, with same header, there was no contact info in it.
moreover, each ad included different hex codes with same pattern. Here are the codes I copied from each ad. each line belongs to a separate ad:
9cbfe405 9eaf 4e50 acea 9b2cea5a7ba7
beced068 2cab 4694 8353 2075f87946f2
178b0aa6 313c 476d 9cff 5ca427716b4b
ab5480e9 0c96 4753 8735 cc7db579388e
0d733077 fc47 4538 8086 f2e9ab46c3e0
e2df157e b43a 4eed a17b 1c0218ce7cf2
f5619556 d8c9 4ce1 829a 0529dd8c8b38

One of the ads is at the following link:
http://newjersey.craigslist.org/ctd/2121161168.html

I am now trying to find a clue to decrypt the codes. I have tried hex2decimal, base64, binary, ascii, etc. also I tried blowfish, but nothing showed up.
Can anyone help?

Those may be hash values. Not sure why or what of but possibly MD5's of files.
