fun challenge: break the code

Other

I found this challenge from my colleague who rocks on hack-contests. It cracked my mind, but I thought it was fun to create a mini contest on my blog too. Just to check how smart my lovely readers are!
All you have to do is break the code and find the secret key.

Break this code!

[code]
0×1be15dc
0127636
0144420051
0×9542
1717162949
0×675a
014771063721

Hint: uppercase seems legit.

Can you find it? Post the answer + the time you spend on it in the comments below.

    I was playing with numbers. Then i searched a number 1717162949 which means secret. I said I hope i will find somebody thinks that before then i come here. But i think i’m late a bit 😀
    Nevermind i found in a minute which is past for typing 🙂 The answer is
    hello you found the secret key str0ep
    I don’t get the last one. Which was bigger than 32bit but also tried with long but result was the same.

    Haha nice! You’re still on time, since there is no time limit. And congrats, you are the only one who cracked the code! Stroep is the name of the site. 🙂

    Wow, after all these years!
