Glad you said that. I thought it was just me. Okay, to make this post on-topic:

This is an encoded message, the only tip you get is '2 null bytes'

Thank (or blame ) tiksi for making this challenge

NOTE: There is no encoding error, stop submitting bug reports about it.

Easy to find (given the tip), difficult to decipher. I completed it just this morning. This one is worthy of Oliver Twist.

You need to use the given clue to locate where the message might be hidden. Once you have that area try different things. Hex to text converter? I don't think so but hey....if it works for you....

So I took the hint,
Found quite quickly the location (at least I think its the location)

[Outlines his steps]

Tried all the normal ascii strings that yielded from my strategy, but no success.

Could some one point me a direction, am I even in the right place?

Hopefully this information is not spoilish...

You are correct in how you are finding and interpreting the data, so I would think one of your strings would have worked.
I edited your post so people can't copy you.

Ok well I know what is "missing", and I've tried all the possibilities to get real ascii, and only one is human readable.

37h***

That really should be the answer, it fits the hint, it has what is "missing", what the crap am I missing!?

Close you are, but not there yet. And there are several possibilities, so you must have overlooked something...go try some more, and PM me if you still are stumped.

I am getting the password like 8f***.... , but there are some non alphanumeric chars in it as well, which i feel is not right.
Im new to stego so i dont really know if i am even on the right track here. something tells me it has got something to do with L*B, is it?
