Using strings - Uncoding script

[maxcrook]

In a dir /name/db/bin - I have a number of scripts that you can not look at as perforimg more gives the following

^?^GÌØ!^C^PM-^AA^C^TM-^A!^C^P8M-^@0؟8À/M-^C92A9`2M-^QM-^Qa8H$Ù`M-^@a^CXM-^@M-

You can use strings on the name of the file but unfortunately it is still not very conclusive ! Is there anyway that I can redirect the output to another file and the decrypt as it where. I know that the Uk does not have the crypt command installed due to government restrictions.

Are you sure it's a script? It could be an executable. Use the file command to check their type, i.e.

file <filename>

Sorry I meant executable ! The following is displayed

DEI: executable (RISC System/6000) or object module not stripped

Is there a way of looking at this in a more informative way than strings ?
