So here's what recently happened /g/.
On /pol/, somebody posted a thread showing this (i believe to be) hexadecimal code. This was shortly after someone posted a thread with a pic of 2 guns and a bomb posting coordinates to a hotel in Barcelona. That thread got deleted.

When translating the hexadecimal to text, it comes out as some gibberish which is located in the link.

I was wondering if anyone on /g/ could help me decipher for sure what this hex code really says?

This is 8-bit code and obviously can't be translated straight to ascii. Something needs to be done to the code that a clever puzzle solver could find, that is assuming the OP pic has some sort of code in it like a boolean operation to be done to it or a ceaser cipher code.
hi /pol/
bye /pol/ >>>/pol/

hex isn't really a code, it's a representation of arbitrary data. Without context there's no way of interpreting it. Some straightforward guesses would be to try ascii or something but I'm not gonna do it for you cause fuck that.
Judging by that image there's also a possibility of some steganography or something relating to the image. The hex might be a key to whatever that is.

8 minutes of looking at this and it's blatantly obvious to me what the code is and what it means.
If you can't figure it out then fuck off back to /pol/.

hex to bin, bin to dec, dec to ascci, ascci to arab
