I just saw this puzzle...it's pretty awesome...

All you really need to do is notice that the string ends with "=="...which, if you know anything about encodings, is a common ending for Base64 encoded strings.



So, just plugging the string into a Base64 decoder, you get the result that was flagged as the answer.

Really neat puzzle...simple if you get that first step...and props on the ASCII art!
