It looks like it's base-16 counting (hexadecimal?). Have you tried converting that to base-10?

You'll need programming knowledge. It's a GCHQ recruitment program, they're looking for hackers.
It's hex, machine code, if you execute it you have an HTTP GET to http://www.canyoucrackit.co.uk/15b436de ... e5d0b20.js which is stage 2 of the problem and I can't be bothered to go further than that, I don't particularly want a poorly paid job at GCHQ anyway
*yes i googled the above but knew it was likely machine code anyway

machine code....that is going back. Anyhow I thought the hackers come looking for you.... I prefer accidental hackers who do not realise they are hacking but are looking for aliens.
