string obsfucation/encoding

Post by iox33 »

Does anyone recognize what kind of encoding this is and what sort of php function will replicate this?
\x48\x65\x6C\x6C\x6F\x20\x57\x6F\x72\x6C\x64\x21
This is some sort of escaped string that is interpretable by javascript without further decoding.

Any help will be appreciated, thanks.

I'm going to wager a guess and say it looks like hexadecimal :/

If you could describe where this came from it might be helpful.

It seems like a memory dump.
