Code #2
Observations
Mix of letters and numbers, those “-” seem to indicate to modify something.
[hint] count how many characters you have without the “-“[/hint]
If you count the number of characters leaving the “-” you get 24 characters. This is a good indication of Base64
The “-” indicate to change to upper case the letters following them.

Converting that from Base64 doesn’t give anything good. Reverse the string
